Default 1988 Reynard 883 - Toyota F3 car

For sale:

1988 Reynard 883-Toyota

2008 Monoposto ‘2000 Classic’ championship winning car, in ready to race condition.

Fitted with Monoposto specification Toyota 3S-GE 2000cc engine on 45mm Dell’Orto DHLA carburettors and original F3 specification TOM’s dry sumping kit. A lot of time has gone into preparing, maintaining and improving this car.

Details include
- Professionally mapped Omex ECU (laptop lead & software included)
- Custom laser-cut and sand-bend exhaust system
- Stack Rev Counter with Racetech Oil/Water gauges.
- Hewland Mk9/Mk5 5-Speed gearbox with Reynard casing and LSD
- Two sets of wheels – slicks / wets, Avon radials. Used but perfect for initial testing.
- Spax Trakspax 2-way adjustable dampers custom valved to suit springing.
- Electrically operated, plumbed in Fire Extinguisher
- Custom Willans Harnesses, dated to 2011
- New front brake discs recently fitted with Ferodo 4003 pads
- Shift-i shift-lights mounted on dashboard
- Custom aluminium radiator and additional oil cooler
- Race Technology DL1 datalogger & software
- New Redtop 30 battery
- Front and rear blade type adjustable anti-roll bars

Full documentation from past two years in considerable detail, including setup sheets, testing data, suspension analysis, receipts, calculations etc.

The car has been carefully maintained for safe, cost-effective racing, and was converted to meet Monoposto engine regulations from the original TOM’s prepared F3 engine (available by separate negotiation) after sprinting in 2006.

Car steadily improved, despite novice driver, without radical modifications over 2007, scoring podiums in last two rounds. Winter saw conversion to radial tyres with appropriate changings to damping, springing and anti-roll bars. Car can easily be converted back to cross-ply tyres should the new owner want to do so.

2008 season started with an outright Monoposto 2000 victory and has seen six class wins, (four times runner up), eight fastest laps, and two outright pole positions in the wet and has dominated the Classic class (CSCC words, not mine). Only regularly beaten in Monoposto by late 1990’s Dallaras, that race in a different class.

One of the prettiest cars on any grid!

Spares package
-springs for cross-ply use (can also include used cross-ply tyres)
-fuel cell
-sidepods
-nosecone
-CV joints
-Bilstein dampers
-anti-roll bars…

Will be supplied ‘as raced’ at the final meeting of 2008, with only the onboard camera removed, and we can provide track support for first test or race meetings to help buyer acclimatise to the car, as long as it does not clash with our own testing/racing commitments.

Alternative specifications (without datalogger, as rolling chassis, or otherwise) can be negotiated if required.

We also have the original TOM’s F3 engine, ECU, airbox etc (car was bought in running F3 spec), and this can be bought with the car separately, or fitted to the car and ready to go if needs be. With this engine re-fitted, and dropped to original ride height, the car would be eligible for Club F3 in the Masters class.

Very quick car (!) – but one that can be driven close to the car's limits by a comparatively inexperienced driver. Will be very sad to see it go, but a Dallara awaits next year and we can't have both.

Ideal vehicle to contest 2009 Monoposto Championship or SEMSEC Single Seater Challenge or would work very well for sprinting or hill-climbing.

The car was originally raced in Swedish F3 by Rickard Rydell (later BTCC champion and current WTCC driver) with several guest appearances in British F3. Also believed to have raced at the Macau GP in 1988.

To put lap times into perspective, with a pretty inexperienced novice driver, it will lap a circuit faster than a modern BTCC car.

Its geared currently for about a max speed of 140mph but can carry considerably more speed through a corner than the majority of tintops at a club meet can.
