I have just had my new year blown apart!!! Having visited my doctor for my new racing licence medical, it appears i have a problem with my ticker, which is only beating at 40bpm (i thought the slower it went the better it was!!!!!).
My wife has told me for many years that i am too old to race, (even though i was still making front or second row on the grid) and couldn't afford it anyway (she was quite right there though!).
Anyway, this now leaves me with all the racing parts i have for my new project. I will list them, but if someone is contemplating building a racer or track car, then these will be just about all you need to complete it:
1. Safety devices roll cage (out of a 348gtb, but fits the mk1 (just needs a small adjustment on the main hoop footplates - 5 minute job).
2. Prothane bush kit 18-2008 which is one of the best available. Cost me over £160 and still boxed.
3. Sparco bonnet pins - new and still packaged.
4. 3" fia approved to 2015 harness - new and still packaged.
5. Full safety decal kit for tow hook, electrics, extinguisher etc. On full sheet and ready to fit.
6. Amb transponder - used but in perfect working order and ready to fit - not battery so doesn't need charging every outing. These are very hard to find and are very expensive.
7. New 2.225 plumbed in extinguisher kit - in box and never used - box unopened. Msa approved.
8. Master switch/cutoff with immobiliser/egnition cutoff - fia approved.
9. Led rain light to full msa specifications.
If you can think of anything else you need, i probably have it, including race numbers and backgrounds (rectangles) - have numbers 1,4 and 5 (3 or 4 of each) plus potentially others.
I also have a full set of red bull race car decals for my mica blue mk1, so you can even look like you are sponsored by the biggest!!!
I will probably have a good set of alloys (15") with good track tyres on (you will have to get new ones subject to whatever race series you enter).
I have a couple of timing watches, an out of date racing suit and whatever i find in my garage and/or wardrobe.
Offers by pm please and as i live in france, i can only bring the bits over to folkestone/ashford, kent area, as my grandkids are there and i come over every month (you can always come over and collect - wine and food thrown in free!!!!)
i am not a happy bunny and it doesn't help much more by being able to say that i'm 70 next year!!!! Again, my wife reminding me that perhaps it really is time to hang up my race suit!!
Excuse me while i swear!!!!!!!!
Happy new year to all (except me) - hope christmas went well and you got the presents that you asked santa for!!
