The cars were very popular in the USA in the early 1970’s as support to the Ind圜ar Series. I also have the original long range fuel tanks, but of course I doubt you will be able to use them today as they are fiberglass. Also included are x3 wings, x2 front and x1 rear but although in period I doubt they are originally from a Kaimann. There is a mechanical plumbed in fire system by OMP still in date, and a six-point STR belt in date to the end of 2023.īodywork includes x2 side pods, nose cone, and cockpit top, all original Kaimann. X2 sets of wheels one set ATS 6x13 alloys in very good condition with slicks and a second set in fair condition will require tyres, there are also a number of assorted tyres to come with the spares package. A hydraulic clutch again with braided lines. Front disc brakes and a rear VW conversion from drums to discs, dash-controlled brake bias. Shocks are fully adjustable Ohlins with remote gas cylinders. I have the jigs required should you need to make more. The rear uprights and arms are also new from the same company. Fabricated from original parts by RS Fabrications. Front uprights are VW but all suspension arms and rods are new. The frame is an Austrian built Kaimann matching original specification drawings. In keeping with the original specifications the car is VW based. The car has been built according to original specifications and MSA Blue book specifications although it is not yet MSA log booked. I would however recommend a new battery and for this reason the seat has been unbolted to gain access. It starts from the jump battery and runs perfectly well on its own alternator and “red top” battery. The car is fitted with an isolator switch and an Anderson socket. A bespoke exhaust system from RS Fabrications (Towcester). A small high output race alternator and a high torque starter. The motor has an electronic distributor, electric fuel pump and pressure regulator feeding twin 40 DRLA Dellorto carbs. So, plenty of scope for any future machining if required. The 1700cc engine has standard size bearings and pistons (flat top high compression). This Kaimann from circa 1972/3 has just had an engine “refresh” to include, new bearings, crank and cam, new alloy cam drive gear, new oil pump (uprated) new pushrod tubes, barrels honed and new piston rings and all gaskets and seals where required. The history file includes invoices totalling in excess of £15,000 relating to the work carried out, and the car has travelled approximately 500 miles since, including one hillclimb at Shelsley Walsh.Ĭomplete with a current V5, a reproduction instruction book, a sump guard and the original airbox, diff and Nardi steering wheel.įor further details please contact Damon Milnes on 07802 779301 or FORMULA SUPER VEE Work carried out by specialists included an engine rebuild incorporating:Ī subsequent rolling road tune showed a healthy 162 bhp, and the Alfa was further enhanced by the addition of a Gripper LSD and an uprated front anti-roll bar.
