Equipment
RHD. 5993/450hp, 5-speed, OZ Racing wheels. Comes with OEM fuel bladder and fuel pumps among other spare parts.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
One owner from new, and reportedly hasn''t been started since it left the UK in 1991. Paint blisters on front and below the headlight covers. The windshield is delaminating all around the edges, and the exposed carbon below it is starting to yellow. The hardware for the harness has made a deep imprint on the leather in the driver’s seat. Not as clean and well preserved as you might expect given the mileage and lack of use.
Market commentary
TWR built just 27 of these Le Mans racers for the road but there were two on offer in Amelia this year. Neither one did anything noteworthy on the block, with Broad Arrow’s higher mileage but better-presented and more usable example not sold at a $1.2M high bid, and this one selling for a price more down to its long-dormant condition and mechanical needs than its low miles and single owner. Its recommissioning will make it expensive before it is ready to be driven.
