Roberto Moreno and Raul Boesel won 13 out of 14 rounds in the 1980 BRSCC championship in such a chassis.
An excellent example of a car with a strong track record in Classic Formula Ford.
Used rather infrequently by its current owner – hence the reason for sale.
Professionally maintained and run, with recent expenditure exceeding £8,000.
OVERVIEW
Please enquire for further information and viewing welcome by appointment.
This is an excellent example of a car with a strong track record in Classic Formula Ford, a similar RF80 having won the championship in 2020. However due to time constraints it has been used rather infrequently by its current owner – hence the reason for sale.
Fitted with an original Scholar engine which was rebuilt by Neil Bold seven events ago and refreshed and checked only three events ago. Professionally maintained and run, with recent expenditure exceeding £8,000.
A competitive and very well-presented entry into the increasingly popular Classic Formula Ford series. Great value for money.
Van Diemen has built more Formula Fords and won more Formula Ford races than any other company, and the RF80 was a particularly successful design.
Amongst many other notable victories Roberto Moreno and Raul Boesel won 13 out of 14 rounds in the 1980 BRSCC championship in such a chassis.
