Car was built to be very low maintenance, simple and very reliable and that's exactly what it is. Regular fluids/plugs etc plus brakes/tyres is all that is needed. Starts first crank every time even after a month in the garage.
Not a street car - big bridgeport and Weber make it a pig to drive around town but it comes alive on the track. For this reason, no road reg or roadworthy and would be difficult to obtain. However, it currently has Club Permit reg which is not transferrable but easy to obtain (I can assist) - this allows you to drive to and from the track and limited on road use for testing etc.
