Meticulously maintained since • Dunnell-prepared, 2-litre Ford Zetec producing 220bhp, Hewland Mk 9 gearbox and LSD • Tubular steel spaceframe (as the original 1966 design) incorporating an integral roll hoop • Six-section bodywork in lightweight self-coloured fibreglass. Comprehensive spares package The 9S was regarded by many in the sixties as one of the most rewarding race cars to drive as well as one of the prettiest cars of its era – a claim that can justifiably still be made today. In 2005, when the FIA decided to permit the original manufactures of racing cars to produce continuation models to comply with the new HTP regulations, the opportunity for many historic racers to experience these values once again became a reality. #C9S 66 66 is a late run car built by Crosslé in Hollywood, County Down in 2013 for Nick Ledger and raced successfully for three seasons. The build of this particular car is featured in a really excellent nine-minute video here. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK_LYqhNqbA It was purchased by our vendor in 2016 but he has never raced it, only using it for occasional track days. We understand that the total running time during 2016/2017/2018 is around 16 hours (full details available). The car has been maintained throughout our vendor’s ownership by an ex-race mechanic and remains in excellent condition. It’s well known to the Crossle Race Drivers Club (CRDC) and according to their Chairman, Eammon Ledwidge, “The car is one of the best available and meticulously maintained”. Superbly finished in white with a green stripe and graphics, the car is powered by a modern and extremely reliable 2-litre, 220bhp, Ford Zetec engine prepared by Dunnell Engines, giving long-lasting service between rebuilds. It’s supplied with two sets of Minilite wheels, three sets of tyres (slicks, intermediates and wets) and a fitted car cover. It has a long-range tank but currently, this has been replaced by a passenger seat with a new Schroth harness fitted in 2017 for Track Days. The full technical spec of the 9S can be found here https:// crossle.co.uk/9SSportscar.html With the appealing classic shape of sports racers designed in pre-downforce days combined with safe modern mechanicals and the support of a particularly friendly Drivers Club, this seems to tick, pretty well, all the boxes.
