DESCRIPTION
- Sylva Autokits is a kit-car manufacturer based in Lincolnshire that was founded in 1981 by Jeremy Phillips and has developed and produced a number of small and lightweight sports cars
- The Phoenix was a built-for-racing machine (also known as the Mk4 Striker). The core chassis was similar but the fibreglass bodywork was developed for race purposes with a curved and lowered front and wheel covering outer edges
- Used extensively in the kit-car race series, the design was sold by Sylva to Stuart Taylor Motorsport who have since sold it on again. It has recently found a new home with Raw Engineering

- Comes with two spare (near-complete) Honda Firestorm engines and spare injection bodies
- 4x 13” Minilite wheels plus 2x 14” Minilite rears for a fast circuit; Yokohama 2x 14” 0038 soft , 4x 13” 0038 soft and 4x 13” wets
- Roll-cage, 5-point harness, plumbed-in fire extinguisher, Anderson remote plug, gel battery and quick-release steering wheel
- AVO coil-overs dampers (nearly new), 4-pot discs brakes all round, foam filled tank (long range) and lap timer fitted
- Accompanied by a four-wheeled lockable Brian James Trailer (original invoice in photos attached), with full PVC cover, ramps, extra ply floor, spare wheel, lock, winch, internal wheels and tyre rack (for 6)
- Please enquire for full specification of car (plus attached photos) and spares package
