    Well, I'm just at 6 feet tall and I fit OK with a poured foam seat. The seat back is not all that substantial but I should think someone a bit taller would be just fine.

    If you fit in a Swift DB1 there should be no problem with the Anson.

    Default SA 6

    Hi Rich,
    Nice to hear from you, ya ole horse trader...
    I always wanted an SA 6, and most of the parts I have are for it ( guess I used up a lot of the SA 4 bits). With the jigs, molds, drawings, and castings, I can build 2 more complete cars, limited by having only 2 bell housings.
    .........but still open to selling. A mustang in part trade, but only 4 wheels, no hooves.
    Cheers,
    Mike

    Default Anson SA-6

    Jusst fur fun, thought I'd update this........
    We are autocrossing the Anson SA-6, now.
    My wife, Colleena, was interviewed and shown driving it at the Oakland Coliseum last Sunday, on Ch. 2 news. It was a good plug for the SCCA Solo sport, vs. the "sideshow" idiots, who had shut down the adjacent freeway, a few days earlier.
    I won the A-Mod class, and beat some formula Mazdas and Fords.

    Anson inquiries invited.

    Default Is this car for sale?

    I know for a fact that it has been sold, see Mikes comments in a preceding post, and is in California.

    I am about to relocate this car, last chance to buy it, including the whole Anson works.
    I wouldn't mind just looking at it the rest of my life, but a Ferrari would work, too.

    I'm resurrecting this years-old thread in the hope of finding one very important part for my SA6. I need the fiberglass under tray that attaches to the lower, inner edges of the side pods and closes off the bottom of the engine compartment.

    Any help is appreciated.

    I have one, but it won't fit a car with Marlboro livery.

    No need to worry. That photo (taken at Fontana) is from around 1998 or so. We're just finishing a complete rebuild of the car and I'm painting up a second complete set of bodywork and wings in a different livery. How much do you want for the under tray?

    I won't get to my shop for 2 weeks, will check for it then.
    My SA6 turned out to be a TTOD autocross car.

    I don't know how I missed this thread the first time around. I appreciate the looks of the Anson. I used to lust over the one that Vic Loh raced with VARA.

    Anyway, I found it quite funny that some random "Go-Cart" driver was Terry Ives!
    That's akin to me selling my Cessna to some random aeroplane guy named Chuck Yeager.

    I may may be biased, but I think the Anson SA-6 is the best looking, and best handling formula car....ever.
    also, the parts, jigs, molds, drawings are in Reno, NV, better availability than most makes.

    Agreed. A while after I got my car I spent some time talking with Johnny O'Connell as he had driven an SA-6 in the Bosch Super Vee Pro Series and he said that out of the many cars he had competed in the Anson was the best handling of all of them.

    The car he drove is the one I have.
    I was driving an SA-4 in the '80's pro SV.
    Johnny "Red" is a great guy, with an amazing career.

    Hi Mike. Realizing the last couple of weeks have been more than a little out of the ordinary I'm curious if you've had the chance to locate one of the under trays in your shop. I'm using this "quiet time" to finish up a couple of details on the cars.

    One year when i was NASCAR manager for Ford Racing I was invited to an end of the season team and friends party at Road Atlanta by Jack Roush. This was a huge party with over 100 guests, many race cars and 4 pilots for the plane rides! The guest of honor was Chuck Yeager. Everone at tha main dinner table was a pilot of some note who were friends with Jack and i was the only non pilot at the head table and I was lucky enough to be seated next to Chuck Yeager. He did not want to talk much about flying but we had a great conversation about, family, racing and other stuff. Jack had arranged for Chuck to sign 2 hats for me which i gave to my sons Jay and Brian. What an honor and a thrill to meet & talk with Chuck Yeager in the Flesh! Especially for me as he was one of my personal heros when i was a kid! Now that was a party!

    Can you give me a list of parts you could use, as spares or upgrades?
    Perhaps, uprights, axles, hubs, nose box, control arms, etc.....

    or buy the whole company, molds, jig, parts, drawings, rights....what a vintage race or car show display!

    Fortunately, I've got lots of spares for just about everything. If I had another tub I could build another car. The things I don't have spares for are lower front A-arms (I've got a guy who can make new ones) and, of course, that under tray. Mine has a bit of damage and rather than spend time repairing it I'd rather replace it.

    As mentioned above, I'm good on pretty much all spares. I do want to get that under tray and I would be curious as to availability/price of lower front A-arms.

    Any idea as to how soon you'll be able to locate and sell an under tray?

    Many thanks.
