    So a couple of weeks ago I bought this car from PRU. I fell in love with the looks of the car and made an incorrect assumption that I could tweek it a bit here and there and get it so I can get in and out of it. I have been in and out of it about 7 times and find my hip bones will just fit (painfully) into it. So I am offering it for sale now.

    It starts and runs excellently. I have made a few repairs such as bleeding the brakes and clutch and mounted the slicks. I planned a couple of weeks ago to run it at Walesboro but that did not work out as the realization that i did not fit sank in.

    I took it to a race shop in Indy and discussed widening the frame 1" in the center but he was unwilling to do it and showed me why that was not a good idea. If anybody knows a shop that could do this for me I would be much obliged.

    In the mean time I am offering it for sale for what I gave PRU for it.

    $15,000

    Will trade for a wider car with a Honda engine (up or down.)

    Default additional facts from car and log book

    First I found the chassis number stamped under the dash area ... MG.96. 2000.001.FT. Then upon looking at the log book it says the year make model is MG 2,000. I am wondering if this is a 2000 year and chassis #1?

    Then the log book number is 18-831 and the member number is 105793 and it is a replacement log issued oj 16 June 2023. (European order of date numbers).

    Any comments or facts that can be added?

    It is also possible it was an FC (F2000) when originally manufactured. There were a number of those in the 90s built that way. I believe Vectors were only built in the early/mid 90s.

    My thoughts as well; I believe this car was originally configured as a FF2000 and then later converted to a FF1600. Also, I recall these cars had a short production run that spanned the 1993 to ~1998 time frame.

    If it was a replacement logbook, the region (18=Land 'o lakes Region) would probably have a record of WHY a replacement was given. MIGHT also have additional data in their notes. You should be able to reach Chief of Tech via their website contact us page.

    Thanks guys! So does that possibly settle in on the idea that it was a 2000 FC built in 96? If built as a FC then changed to FF would explain the adapter plates...(?).
