FS: 1972 Royale RP14-14 FSV

Car is sold. Thanks ApexSpeed!!

Our customer has decided to sell the SV that we rebuilt for him in 2011/2012, with only 2 short test days and one race weekend on it since.
Chassis stampings: "AM 72, SV, 14" SCCA roll bar stamp: 33-777, Royale chassis tag "RP14-14"
Extensive records including original bill of sale for chassis and gearbox.

SCCA logbook from time it was shipped to the US in 1974 (have to verify),(6 races only) . ICSCC log book as well (1 race weekend).

Engine by FAT Performance in California (dyno sheet available), Ohlins shocks, 2 sets of wheels/tires, 6" front, 8" rear, (one new set of Goodyear slicks), Panasport and Jongblod. Willians belts good until 2016. Most fasteners are AN.

Numerous spares as well as most original parts; shift linkage, oil sump tank, lines, bolts, brake calipers, tacho, gear sets in case, etc.

We've recently completed a full inspection, chassis detail, oil change and valve adjustment, I'd take this to the track tomorrow -it's that good.

New price: $17,500

Call, PM or email for more info or any questions.

Thanks for looking,
Lawrence

Wing mount pics.

always loved those cast rear "trailing" arms

I have #1. One-piece body, original fiberglass front wings, and the rear cover. whoever buys this should take the air scoops and pull molds ASAP. They are unobtanium. I had to graft the glass fronts to VW cooling tin bottoms, the bottoms had worn out from rubbing on the engine. The original real cover wouldn't fit with the webers, I originally had solexes, but they were a royal PITA. the weber setup is a few inches narrower.

the original front structure is the same as mine (large square tubing) although the drawings call for smaller stuff (I have quite a few of the original drawings).

Would be really interested in pics of the front of the motor, oil routing, and any build sheet info you might want to share. It will be several years before I get mine back together.

The cast bits are way cool. The car had no expenses spared and shows better than the pictures

And more build stuff:

But still more.

Just a couple more.

Hayes....thanks for the views...those nose filller panels are slick!

Thanks! We couldn't figure out why they were that way until we saw a FF from the era; same basic nose but with a radiator up there... We made a small under-tray for the master cylinder area too.

As I think of parts we've put on this chassis I have to add that we installed new, lightened CV's and custom Taylor axles, new SBS battery, all new stainless brake and clutch lines...

yep that era Royale FF was hottt, i think Bob Earl won the runoffs albeit with those Mickey Mouse ears removed and the radiators relocated lower

Super Vee shopping in the mid-seventies got to see a TON of Royale tubs in a storage trailer at Bill Scott's (Summit Point, i believe) those tubs were amazingly simple and stout (looking)

reflecting upon the formula scene, others may have built fewer and better cars but Carl Haas/Lola and Reynard really did sell a LOT of cars

Seller has at least twice our asking price in this chassis. It's really good :checkered:

Offers? Seller really has no interest in keeping this car and has other projects in-shop at this time...
It is truly "race ready", just add gas. And maybe check the tire pressures.

One set of slicks has never touched the track, never been on the car.

any spare body parts? IIRC my car uses the same nose and upper body panel.

Sorry, no.
There are some A arms from your model I think but that's all. I'll check next time I'm there.

After exchanging a few emails with an interested party we have to reiterate that this is a complete, race-ready chassis with NO preparation necessary.
No assembly, no tuning, nothing...

Thanks for looking!

thanks Lawrence, let me know if you find anything.

I have seen this car, it is beautifully prepared and is really nice. Good luck with the sale.

Any pics of the car with wings?

Email sent to owner. He had taken some when we raced it.

Meantime, here's one of the front wing on the car.

Our client wishes to move this car. To that end we are accepting sincere cash offers.

Still open to offers... Don't be shy but please don't offend.

Thanks,
Lawrence

Any offer at all will be considered. Taking up space and needs to be raced.
