WHY FOR SALE
I built the Grantura for a choice of uses, not to just race the car and return home, garage it until the next race. It can also be enjoyed for road use, having a day out with a passenegr, or hill climbs. I chose a set of road legal wheels and tyres along with a set of FIA compliant race wheels and tyres not for road use. Both sets of wheels and tyres are included in the price. Please if your interested please call me on the number shown in the listing.
COSTS
The cost of purchasing the car along with all the work and upgrades completed, now exceeds £65K. Realistically priced for an all round competition car. Due to a major disability, I am no longer able to enjoy what is my pride and joy.
