MR2 Mk1 Race car with full season of race entries

Post by Sakari Racing Matt »

I am reluctantly putting my Mk1 MR2 Race Car up for sale due to a new business venture requiring more funds.

I have raced this car in the Track Attack MR2 Race Series for 4 seasons and have had regular top 10 finishes; my best result was 2nd out of 36 entrants so in the right hands will be right up the front. The car is not in perfect condition as it has all the bumps and scrapes associated with running closely with a pack of 20+ MK1's. However it is fully MSA and MR2 series regulation compliant, you just need to add race legal tyres and driver! You could stick this on a trailer, change the tyres and head straight into a race.

The series organiser has offered me a special package with this car - the price quoted at the bottom of the page will include race entries to the full 2014 TARC MR2 Series which consists of 7 race meetings! Each race meeting includes a 15 minute qualifying and 2 x 15 minute races; see www.trackattackraceclub.com for more details.

I will be taking this car on a trackday at Cadwell Park on Saturday 25th January and would welcome any perspective purchasers to come along to view the car and I will also offer passenger rides (fee payable to MSV).

Below is the specification:
1987 MR2 Mk1 not registered with DVLA so no V5 or SORN requirements
Fully blue printed engine in accordance with MR2 Series regulations built by Loden Motorsport (approximately 5 race meetings old)
All new ancillaries during 2nd season
Racing paddle clutch
EBC brake disks and EBC yellow stuff pads (enough wear for at least a season)
Custom manufactured race springs for racing MR2 Mk1
Shock absorbers 3 race meetings old, good for another season, same make as the majority of field use
Racing brake fluid regularly changed
light weight alloy wheels
Will come with Silverstone tyres, enough wear for a trackday or 2
MSA approved roll cage, race seat and harness
All electrical cut outs as required by MSA
fitted extinguisher
Racing light weight battery
Transponder (worth over £300 alone)
Cone air filter in boot
Stripped down and light weighted, with 30kg's of ballast and 80kg driver it just meets the minimum weight limit of 1050kgs of the MR2 series
Fully polybushed

I will also include a spares package which includes things like spare alternator, radiator, new rear brake discs and pads, lights etc etc far too much to list completely. I also have a Mk1 supercharger shell in great condition that could be used for a future re-shell or for spare panels that I could throw into a deal.

I am asking £3,495 ono for the car including the full season of race entries (worth over £2,000 alone)

I will not be leaving the race series as I will be continuing as the Club scrutineer for 2014, so I can't run away and leave you with a dodgy car! As I will be at every race meeting in 2014 I am willing to add additional support to anybody who may be new to racing. This is a great little race car running in a fantastic and friendly race club. I would prefer it to be on a circuit doing what it was built for rather than rusting away in my garage waiting for the time when I may be able to return to racing.

PM me for any further questions or a price without the race entries
