Description
Reynard was founded by Adrian Reynard in 1973 and built its name in lower formulae racing series'. The company developed single seaters over a number of years and eventually progessed to Champ Car racing and even Formula One by the late 1990s. Their chassis were known for their giant killing abilities and this translated into a successful commercial opportunities for the company in the racing car world. They even designed carbon seats for Virgin Atlantic.
The Formula Vauxhall Lotus single seater racing car was developed by Reynard for a number of years after the demise of Formula Ford 2000 in the late 1980s. The cars boasted a 2.0 Litre Vauxhall engine and a superb aero package, resulting in incredible performance. Finished in evocative JPS style livery, this Reynard single seater has been run by the current owner on a number of occasions over the last two years at Spa and Silverstone. Described as on the button and benefitting from many thousands of pounds in investment, this car is eligible for series such as the Monoposto Championship and would make an incredible track day weapon.
This actual car was the outright class winner in the Monoposto series in 2013 and ran successfuly at the Spa Classic in July of this year. Included in the sale are an additional set of wheels fitted with slick tires and a number of other spares are available by seperate negotiation. This example represents a superb opportunity for developing any young talent looking to move up from karting or Formula Ford to more serious single seaters.
