Supercharged special for sale

This is an interesting device. COT 11 is registered with the DVLA, but it's not on the chassis register - does anyone recognise it? Someone has put a lot of effort into the car, but it must have very limited uses: the ifs and hydraulic shock absorbers render it ineligible for the VSCC, although I suppose it would be welcomed in the Bet Hadley Championship. It appears to have hydraulic clutch operation as well as hydraulic brakes! As is the way with most dealers, no price quoted ...

A NZ car built in the 90's by Rob McNair, it was very quick, but was not built with true vintage eligibility in mind.

A later creation of Rob's was a Tiger Moth engined Riley Nine, google should find it for you.

which i suppose, on balance, is better than a Riley Nine engined Tiger Moth...

And that one too. What a beautiful craftmanship!
Thanks for that.

This car would be very eligible for Historic 750 Formula racing and is similar I’m many ways to the A7 that Mike Peck races.

It's a bit shinier Charlie!

I took photos of this car in 2012 when JD Classics of Maldon had open days. They wouldn't open the bonnet for me, so never saw the engine.
