Formula 2 Race Car

Argo Raffo Mk 8/9b Formula 2 Open Wheel Race Car


Ever wanted to own and drive a Formula 1 car? So have I, and this car may just be the next best thing - at at fraction of the cost.

Built in the early 1980’s by Argo Racing Cars UK and subsequently upgraded by John Raffo and John Bradshaw to become the car you see today. Engine built by Serge De Luca, this 1600cc engine produces 132 bhp at the rear wheels. Aerodynamic aids include front wing, two element rear wing and ground effect side pods which gives it improbable grip in fast corners.

Winner of the UK Mono Posto (Single Seat) class in the UK in 1987 as well as the same class in Adelaide in 2011 along with the Historic Class in 2013. Historically registered with CAMS Category 5 Group R, this car is ready for immediate track use.

Last driven at The Bend GT track in May 2020, this well balanced and exciting car performs as expected with good power, oil pressure and remains cool. Recently refurbished, fully serviced with all fluids changed and new front pads fitted and bedded in.

Car comes with an extensive range of spares, wheels and tyres as well as 10 Hewland gear sets along with fibreglass mold for the main deck. This is a unique car, very fast and immensely pleasurable to drive. If you are looking for a car between a Formula Ford and something costing six figures, then this is it.

Also available is custom built car trailer for the Argo, which may be sold separately should the new owner already have a suitable trailer.

Price: Car $44,750 Trailer $12,500. If purchased together $57,000.
