Full description

,,SOLD ,,

Built for the 1989 / 90 BTCC 
This iconic car is instantly remembered as a front running car driven by Tim Harvey 

This car also was the car driven by Tim at the Macau race but in the Watsons water livery,
 Tim ended the race as the overall winner.

1990 saw the car back in the Labatts livery again with Tim behind the wheel 

The car went through a couple of private hands before being shipped to Australia in 2008 where it only did one race at the touring car masters where its owner qualified 5th out of 50 cars 

2011 the car was bought by Uk racer Paul Smith and shipped back home where Paul shared the drive with Tim Harvey at top events like Silverstone classic and the Gold cup.

2018 the car was purchased by its current owner and hasnt been used since.

The car did have a new engine fitted and modern management while in the ownership of Paul Smith , the engine was built by ex mountune Dave Hill (Hill billy) 

Other than fluids and a spanner check this famous car is ready to race and would be a front runner with the right drivers .

This is a rare chance to own one of the most famous RS500s with a great history , a striking livery and driven by the best of the best .
