Bicknell RE98
The Bicknell RE 98 is for sale. Never heard of it? Well this car is a piece of history it was built by Robert Bicknell in 1998 for the two litre sports car racing and was so successful he won the Richard Mallock award for the best constructor of the year it was so quick it beat cars like Lola Mallock and anything else that got in its way. It has an excellent racing history and was raced in Ve de Ve and Super Sports. I have the documented evidence of its success. When I bought the car it had just been prepared regardless of cost for the next seasons racing which was cancelled therefore there was no more racing for the car. Then this year a new series was created by the BRSCC and Race TV, the idea came from Alan Jenkins for affordable racing with prize money for open sports cars. In July this year I won two trophies for third place in two races. In October I won the Archie Scott Brown trophy for third place and I am 66 years old!!
It is all complete and ready to race this season, It is fitted with a two litre carburetor Vauxhall engine. Hew land 5 speed gearbox including all gear ratio’s and data charts for setting up at different race circuits The spares which include a spare limited slip differential all gear ratio’s , body suspension, jigs, body moulds.
