FOR SALE - E36 M3 Race Car (called Betsy)

[shimmy]

SOLD SOLD



Guys and Gals, for your information and comment:



A well-loved E36 M3 driven successfully with multiple class wins and overall podium finishes in the CSCC series over the 2015 and 2016 seasons. A very reliable race car full of character. Set up & maintained perfectly by Tracktoys of Cannock, the car punches well above its weight competing with more powerful and supposedly faster cars.

We are moving onto a new car and series in 2017 and reluctantly letting Betsy go to a new home. Prior to sale vinyl graphics as shown on pictures will be removed and paint freshened up.

Available immediately for £15,000 for the car or £17,500 including all spares listed.

Bought by current owners direct from EMC in 2014 and raced & then upgraded with S50B32 race engine & exhaust as above. Added shorter final drive diff ratio and Intrax coilovers as well as many other improvements over the two years including M3 rear subframe plates from BMW have been welded in like the factory M3 shells.

Gonna be difficult to find something as powerful that is this cheap to run tbh. Barry already has suggested a Ginetta but doubt that will happen.

On the look out now for options maybe something for higher class with more modifications and upgrades.....watch this space

Testing today at Oulton and low 1:53s she managed.
We are running tomorrow in a combined race of Modern Classics (our race) and New Millenium (post 2000 E46M3 and E92M3). Will be interesting to find out how far Betsy is behind them.
