R1NGA

It is with great sadness that I have to put my beloved Subaru up for sale. Following a nasty bike smash last year, my broken legs are simply not up to the job of getting in and out of a car with a cage and a manual clutch.

Full details can be found here;

The car has been prepared almost entirely with the Nurburgring in mind and has evolved over a 4 or 5 year period. It is now perfect for the Ring (and therefore real world public roads) and has been a massively entertaining and reliable partner on the Nordschleife.

There are plenty of people who have been in the car at the Ring and I'm sure that all would vouch for it's performance and integrity. Although I am not a Ring Lap Timer, the car has been video'd quite comfortably at about 8 minutes between Bridge and Gantry (the usual markers for timing reference). The car will pull an indicated 140mph on a fast run up Kesselchen and has a very wide and full torque curve, which is perfect for the Ring.

I will miss it.

Please mail me directly if interested.

Thanks,

Im sure I have seen another Web article on this car!.

Incidentally, I drive another 'R1' Type R. R1GNO!

R1NGA

It's been around with me at a few workplaces, predominantly BT Labs in Martlesham, Ipswich and also at BP in Sunbury, plus a few other sites. I live in Surrey.

There are quite a few websites with info and articles on the car, predominantly due to the Nurburgring connection.

Hopefully someone is interested in it soon.

Regards,

Phil G

PS: R1GNO - nice plate! I tried of course for R1NGO, but unsurprisingly that had already gone to auction.
