About Chassis 22.
Stripped to a bare frame and completely rebuilt by UK Motorsport engineering /
F1 specialists TDF and developed/updated for 2018 with new Shiftec paddle shift
system, radiators, new wheel option, gearbox upgrade etc. at a cost of over
£20,000. The car is extremely clean and tidy and has a huge amount of life
remaining on the engine and the gearbox has just had a £4000 rebuild to 0KM
spec.
Since being rebuilt the car has only competed in a few sprint races and covered

has been in the UK and is one of the very few of the original Spiders to have

impressive race history with numerous wins and podiums and has been highly
competitive throughout its life.

This is an incredible car and realistically the fastest Peugeot
track car available for private ownership outside of the LMP and Group C cars.
It has very reasonable running costs and is easily capable of being the fastest
car on a track day or a competitive entry in various spring and hillclimb
championships, OSS Championship and a variety of European sprint and Endurance
series. As one of a handful of remaining cars, one of even fewer fully
operational cars and the best condition remaining car with a great history it
also represents a fantastic investment.
To drive the car is mind blowing with an incredible amount of
grip, a gearbox which changes gear in less than a tenth of a second via
steering wheel mounted paddles and a power to weight ratio that eclipses any
Peugeot road car by many times. Outright lap times are hypercar quick with the
car comfortably out lapping a 720S on Bedford Autodrome and the sheer pace at
which the car covers ground is simply fantastic to experience. It is for all
intense and purpose a baby Lemans Prototype and it feels it.
