• Black.

• Mileage is 115,000km, though I believe that the dash was replaced some time in the car’s life previous to my ownership and the mileage on the car is actually more.

• Factory 1.6L engine, with factory upgraded cam, and factory close ratio gearbox, LSD and 4 wheel discs

• All factory options including power windows, mirrors, tacho dash, dash mat, Nardi Torino leather steering wheel and Recaro seats. Driver’s seat is worn/torn. Factory red carpet still in place too, with a hole under drivers feet.

• King low springs front and rear - installed October 2011

• Near new slotted RDA front brake rotors

• Rear wheel bearings replaced in last 12 months

• New windscreen and seal in 2011.

• 15inch mags with Toyo R881 semi slicks - half worn

• Meridian Motorsport fabricated harness bar/rear strut brace

• Willans 3 inch 6 point harness, expiry dated 2011 (good for club use until 2016)

Spares include side skirts and wheel arch extensions, and brand new Project Mu Club Spec compound front brake pads, and scuffed up factory 13 inch wheels with two near un-roadworthy tyres on the rears.

Body has light hail damage on roof and bonnet that you only notice in the right light, and the bonnet has a dent in the front of it from hitting a galah on the freeway. Driver’s side still has the factory Charade DeTomaso decals, passenger side were removed when it had a rear quarter panel repair. Passenger door also needs a repaint where clear coat has lifted. Otherwise only a couple of carpark dents in the car.

No roadworthy provided, though I suspect it would only need driveshaft seals replaced in the gearbox for roady. I am also not sure that the LSD works that well, but this won't effect a roadworthy.

Currently used as a hillclimb and sprint club racer. Winton 1.49. Sandown 1.39. Phillip Island 2.08. Rob Roy 29.8. Stiffer springs and a braver driver would see these times improve, but it’s not bad for a slightly improved little road car.

Selling as I have exceeded the toy car allowance at home. It has been a highly reliable and competitive road registered club racer that I drive to the track, have my fun, and then drive home again at the end of the day, and I will be sad to see it go. It handles and stops exceptionally well and surprises most people with its performance on track.

Price is $4500 ono as specced above. Definitely couldn't build it for this price!

Happy to negotiate this downwards if you don't want all the spares, the race wheels and tyres, etc.

Contact Adam on 0413 001 666, or email [email protected]. Car is located in North East Melbourne. Happy to deliver to a freight company if the buyer is interstate.

Some photos of it from various points in its life with me. Please note that the Sparco seat and mounts are not for sale, unless you want to add $1000 to what you pay!
