Wanna Buy a RACECAR?

Heavily modifed Renault Clio with many podium finishes in its history.

"JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA … THIS CAR WILL BEAT A ROAD GOING M3 V8 AROUND MOST TRACKS!! "

Read the whole description though

damn it TF - another auction site is not what my bank account needs …

TF will still blow the gearbox up.
He seems to have a poor relationship with them.

LOL !

Sarge.

Strange

Hows the Beetle project going ?
Tempted by just having one that works and is already shiny ?

No bids…

beetle runs, moves forwards, backwards and the stop peddle does slow you down :slight_smile:

New clutch and a load of other parts all thrown in got her running and working, a great job, get the convertible ready just in time for winter …

Not a race car but, possibly even less practical

The DAF YA616 was initially built for the Dutch Army in 1959, but this particular vehicle was rebuilt in 1968.
It has a 6-cylinder Continental Red Seal R gasoline engine with a volume of 9866 cc, producing 204 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque.
It also has a 5-speed manual synchronized gearbox, making it a powerful and versatile machine. The vehicle’s gross weight varies depending on the version, but ranges from 10,150-15,670 kg.

Despite its impressive capabilities, the DAF YA616 is notorious for its high fuel consumption - 1 liter of gasoline per kilometer was not uncommon. However, the robust construction and enormous pulling power of this vehicle more than make up for its thirst. It is a reliable and durable machine that can tackle the toughest jobs.

This DAF YA616 is also tax and MOT exempt, making it a unique investment opportunity. Whether you are a military enthusiast, a collector, or in need of a powerful and reliable piece of equipment, this vehicle is sure to impress. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of history.

It is built to last, pre-dating the era of built-in obsolescence. This means that if a part fails, it can be easily replaced without shutting down the entire machine.

10 Litre engine!
That will be a hard-core job on a starting handle

my back hurts just thinking about it!
