SUMMARY
The first of nine Taydec Mk4 2.0-litre Sports Cars from 1985. Powered by a full-race Vauxhall 2.0-litre 'Red Top' producing c.210bhp coupled to a Renault transaxle gearbox. Reliable, easy to maintain and very quick, it's eligible for a multitude of events. Offered without reserve.
DESCRIPTION
The Mk4 2.0-litre Sports Car appeared in 1985 and this example is one of nine built by our vendor, constructor and race driver, John Suckling, and developed with the help of fellow Taydec associate Andy Hilley. Many of the body panels were from the original moulds used in the production of the 1970 Taydec Mk2. It's powered by a mid-mounted, full-race, Vauxhall 2.0-litre 'Red Top' producing c.210bhp coupled to a Renault transaxle gearbox.
It's been raced by our vendor with multiple class wins proving to be very reliable, easy to maintain and very quick and can run in a multitude of events including the 750 MC Sports Specials Championship Class, CSCC Series, various circuit's GT Championships and is also perfect for Hill Climbs and Sprints.
Offered without reserve, it's supplied with its own box trailer and this well maintained Mk4 offers an incredible cost-effective route into a multitude of motorsport events and will be welcome anywhere in Historic circles.
Original Taydec racing cars are considered rare, given that only a handful were made and due to their well-documented history and eligibility for prestigious historic motorsport events, they are valuable to collectors and historic racers alike.
