Information

Chassis no.5 of the very short run of these special and individual cars. Vauxhall engine suits the car well (the original demonstrator had a VX) quick enough but tractable and easy-going at low revs, but hot cams make it really shift further up the range. Was in decent nick when I bought it 7 years ago from Sevens and Classics at Brands Hatch, but now runs much better than before thanks to the remapping work, and various elements of tidying up and replacing wiring and electrical elements. All of the work done on the car since I have had it has made it a better and more usable car, which is after all, what the 21 was supposed to be. Large lever arch file of paperwork covering (with a short gap against a previous owner) the entire history of the car from original order paperwork to most recent parts and servicing.
