However, properly prepared, the Falcon Sprint was a very effective competition car and became a proven race winner in the US. British racegoers were denied a close look at the Falcon, however, until a couple of years later in 1967when the British Saloon Car Championship changed to less restrictive, Group 5 regulations.Offered here is a Terry Drury Racing FIA Ford Falcon Sprint built as a replacement for their first very successful Falcon Historic Touring Car build. It incorporates all the know-how gained in campaigning the previous car at the top level of historic motorsport during and achievingseveral outrights wins in 2017 in Masters events. It has a current FIA/MSUK Historic Technical Passport valid until31.12.2029 relating toClassCT10 and Period F1962 to 1965 (Competition Touring Cars) and is eligible for all Pre-66 touring car races around the world including the Masters, HSCC and HRDC. It has been built to a very high standard with fastidious attention to detail by a well-renowned race outfit with only running in testing. A complete change of plan allows this race-ready Falcon to be available today.The original shell was blasted and any remedial strengthening addressed before a bespoke full cage by 'Custom Cage'was fabricated conforming to all current MSA/FIA regs.The bodywork isfull fibreglass which has bee integrated into the original shell and it'sfinished in Ford Motorsport White to a very high standard.The engine is a fully FIA compliant 289 cu.in. Peter Knight V8which has only completed two test sessions andthe gearbox is a new T10 with the same test miles. All the fuel equipment is obviously new with an in-date ATL fuel tank andthe exhaust is custom-builtwith carefully designed manifolds. The braking system is entirely new and the differential has only covered the initial test distance.Built by a professional race team, this superbly craftedFalcon will definitely be a front running car in the right hands and represents great value for a very competitive package.You can now book a one-to-one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16thand 30thJuly.
