Description
Built in the mid 90s this Formula 27 is externally a fairly close copy of a Lotus 7 Series 2, it’s stated as a Formula 27 on the V5 and as such is tax and MOT exempt.
The engine is a 2. 0L Twin Cam from an 80s Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV. It has around 130 bhp, the gearbox is the ubiquitous Ford Type 9 five speed, rifle bolt short shifting guaranteed.
The chassis however is unusual in that it has adjustable inboard mounted coilovers front and back and the leading arm rear axle location is pretty much unique in the locost world.
I have recently replaced a few things, these being mainly new wheels, new tyres, new seat belts, new interior and a new windscreen. I also added new rear lights and exterior mirror to underline the old school feel.
To prevent waisting anyone’s time, please be aware these cars are small, l fit and am 5‘8“ and shoe size 9, if you are bigger this might not be the car for you unless you just want to look at it!
You are welcome to come and see the car in Boston Lincolnshire, the car is road legal and ready to go for a spin as long as it’s not pouring down. If this doesn’t make you smile on a Sunday morning jaunt nothing will!
Also included are a matching set of cycle wings if that is what you prefer but for me it’s the flowing wings that do it.
An Apple play car radio is fitted but not connected. I never go far enough to need navigation : )
