The current owner bought the car in February 2021 and commissioned Jeremy Brewster to set it up for trials. Work included fitting a set of heavy duty rear springs, raising the ride height and fitting a complete set of four new 18 inch wheels fitted with Dunlop K70 tyres. The wings were repositioned accordingly and painted black. In addition the spare wheel ‘blister’ that hung below the tail was removed to allow more ground clearance and the spare wheel side-mounted. Extra strengthening gussets were fitted to the body panels to avoid failures.
This is a well prepared Ulster replica suitable for VSCC events and many other forms of motorsport.
