Description

This famous of all Turner Sports Cars is now for sale. VUD 701 was developed and raced from 1963, winning outright the 1964 Autosport Sports and Saloon Car Championship. This race car went through successive owner drivers who developed it year in, year out to become one of the most successful Modsports of it’s time, winning numerous events and setting class lap records around the UK. Owner drivers include John E Miles, John Moore, Mike Lawler, Geoff Daryn, Tony Dunderdale, Lee Barton, Mark Hales, Tony Broome and Chris Fulke Greville who races and has fully restored the car for International shows and events.

This car runs an ultimate 1824cc Ford Cosworth short stroke screamer, BDX thick walled block, all steel, Titan Roller Bearings, dry sumped, original Quaife gearbox, 5/link English axle, Salisbury Diff. 24v starting. The original lightweight removable body panels sit over the space-frame chassis and cage, with an equal 50/50 weight distribution. The car weighs 495 kilos, so performance is jaw dropping and goes round corners on rails. The present owner says its like racing a 250 National Kart, easy and predictable on the limit in wet or dry conditions.

The car comes complete with spares, its original 1575cc FVA internal Cosworth Pre-X/F all steel engine, 193bhp, numerous gearboxes, alloy wheel sets, various race slicks, body moulds, spare suspension, brakes, shafts etc.

You are buying into history as you would a works escort. There is full race history, magazine articles, technical data and specifications dating back to 1963. It also comes with its original 1963 trailer that John Miles used.
