Sold. Reynard. 88 SF FC
Sorry to see it go . . . but IT IS SOLD!
Our 1988 Reynard SF – Formula 2000 (Continental) in current racing trim, with a “garage full” of spares.
A long, colorful, and successful history, including SCCA racing in the Northeast; a dominant contender in the “formula cars only” Race Car Club of America; and the Formula Pro Racing Series, including oval tracks; and consistant taker of Fastest Time of Day (FTD) in SCCA solo events.
Recently “freshened” by a racer who has worked on these cars since they were new!
