This 1997 Renault Sport Spider Trophy has enjoyed a more sheltered
life than many of the examples that raced through the One Marque
Series that traveled throughout Europe. Hand assembled at Dieppe,
France. Chassis # 10005 was to be used as a demonstrator for the
Stillborn, US-equivalent Spider Trophy series. It would later enjoy
use as a highly competent track-day machine and occasional historic
racer. This fine example is equipped with the state of the art
Sadev sequential 6-Speed straight cut gearbox. This unit has
enjoyed regular maintenance and is described to exhibit smooth
operations with stellar shift speeds. Purchased in 2001 by the
seller, the car was previously used as a pace car for the St.
Petersburg Grand Prix and in driver's education events. Following
this, the decision was made by the current owner to start with a
clean slate and rebuild the F7R 2.0 16V inline-four. The racing
experts at Zotz Racing in Florida were commissioned to carry out
the engine overhaul. The engine is currently described as to having
very little actual race time since the rebuild. All receipts for
the work are well documented and included with the sale. This
Spider Trophy has recently had it's braking system serviced, with
new brake rotors from Renault Sport, carbon ceramic brake pads and
brake fluid was changed. This fine example is described to deliver
remarkable on-track performance. It uses a 2.0L 4-cyclinder F7R
engine that powers the Renault Clio and Megane coupe producing
145hp which more is than adequate on a car weighing less than
1900lbs. The mid-engine layout is ideal for a sports car with the
weight of the engine over the rear wheels increasing traction
during acceleration while improving handling. Additional spare
contents being sold with the car, 1 spare set of Renault Sport/OZ
F1 Cup Wheels, 1 set of brake rotors, spare clutch, and spare water
pump. Includes Renault Sport technical service manual, parts manual
and documentation with service and maintenance records. All
original. Superb! We are export specialists and proven experts in
