New Owner for Venturi Trophy 400 Chassis No - 007.

Postby PaulC1959 » Tue Nov 15, 2011 7:50 pm

Hi Guys

Just to let those of you who have an interest in Venturi’s know that Trophy 400 chassis number 007 has been bought by a chap called Tony in the Surrey area. He intends to have it rebuilt to the correct standard, so hopefully we shall see it out and about in the future. :D :D :D

Paul.

Hi John

Not sure about an all white one, white is not always my favourite colour for a car, (says the bloke who’s had at least 5), I like that colour scheme as it is, or what about one in the same colour as your A610, now that yellow would certainly make it a stunning car.!!!!! :wink: :wink: :wink:

That was the one I went to see in Oxfordshire.

Very cheap but LOTS of issues...

Will be a lovely car though once it's sorted.

Well that does it for me! Looks mint in white. Mind you, I do have a bit of a thing for big spoilered, wide tyred white beasts at the moment. :roll:

congrats to the owner for the purchase, interesting car to own.

I would be very curious to see the cams follower of the Venturu 400 prv, i know they should be mechanical, but the normal 24v prv was idrauilic, so they should have made something custom...
Has anyone a photos of this
Maybe the owner need to make an easy valves play adjustment and can take a picture :) ??
