Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Comprehensively restored and race prepared by Huffaker in Sonoma. Upgraded suspension, Tiger rear axle with PowerLokt 4.27 diff, front coil overs, Carillo rods, Venolia pistons, MSD ignition, aluminum flywheel, etc. Older repaint needs help, fire extinguisher, tall roll cage, cracks on fenders and throughout. A well prepared but used vintage racer with no indication of when it was last checked or raced. No Reserve.

Market commentary

There is lots of good stuff and preparation on this SP250, but it all looks and sounds like it was done a while ago. That means it will need to be done again, or at least thoroughly checked, before winding its little V8 up to experience the nearly 200hp it is supposed to make. For that, this is a reasonable price.
