Brian, I am feeling a bit green at your possible investment. About 12 years ago I had the funds and had arranged to meet a chap who had an Ultima GTR for sale. It had a 650bhp blueprinted engine, Porsche gearbox, full FIA approved race brakes, and fire system, was then set up with a lovely interior and air con, but easy to change to race. The chap who owned it had driven it at Le Mans (not racing) and had achieved 210 MPH down Mulsanne. It was in a lovely midnight blue metallic with white stripe. The car was built by the factory and fully documented, and had only done 6k miles. Unfortunately
noticed it on the computer and when I said I was thinking of purchasing threatened cutting all ties with me if it turned up on the drive
, mainly she said because she new I probably go racing in it.
She did say recently that she no longer minded what I did with my pot, and I have noticed one or two GTRs around just within my reach, but it would bye bye Morgan.
Ultimatas can't really be thought of as a kit car, yes you can buy all the bits from them and build one, but to be honest they are a truly pucker piece of seriously well engineered race car. They would not be put to shame in endurance racing or even at Le Mans for that matter.
