First registered in 1998 this ME190 is a fine example of the Toby Sutton designed two-seater track car. Subject to much work in order to keep it in the best condition, the car comes with an extensive history file and has a valid MOT until August 2020. Only a handful of ME 190s were ever made, this is the only one with a Honda Type-R engine. The hand built Honda B18C Type-R is rightly regarded as one of, if not the finest 4 cylinder engine ever made. Boosted with a Spoons ECU, Variable VTEC Controller mounted in the dash. It reliably puts out in excess of 200bhp and revs to over 8000rpm. Fitted with a Renault UN1 transaxle gearbox that performs excellently, the chassis is triangulated space frame bonded to Kevlar composite seat tub, the suspension consists of independent double wishbone, rose jointed with coil over adjustable dampers and adjustable anti roll bars.
