2006 Radical SR3

You don't call your cars Radical unless you offer something innovative and unique, and that was exactly the philosophy of company founders Mick Hyde and Phil Abbott seventeen years ago. They weren't about to build "just another sports car', their approach was revolutionary, and together they created a whole new niche in the world of motorsport.

In 2002, they launched the SR3, a genuine two-seater, road-legal track car, that wowed both the press and track drivers all over the world and has become Radical's most popular model to date.

Presented here is a 2006 Radical SR3 in great order having had a detailed and excellent quality rebuild in late 2015. At this point the SR3 was treated to an upgraded K8 clutch, late specification exhaust, fuel pump, master cylinders, fresh bearings all round, all suspension and brakes serviced and replaced, and an ATL Fuel Cell fitted. It was also upgraded with a few extras such as the much improved 24V starting system and hot climate cooling kit with bigger radiator. The car also has new driver and passenger belts, as well as a new fire extinguisher system.

This car was bought new in Dubai for use at the Autodrome but had only been used for a few test days before shipping to the UK. It was purchased from us in February 2016 by our vendor and the Radical joined his immaculate Ferrari collection and kick-started a passion for track days that culminated in him doing eight in this car. During his tenure, our vendor fitted new batteries and driveshafts and naturally the car was prepped before each outing and the oil regularly changed. This consignor advised our vendor not to attempt to patch-fix two three inch cracks to the rear fibreglass above each rear wheel-arch, a common problem with lift-off panels of this type, and to present the car to auction “as is”.

Having developed a passion for Radicals, this super SR3 has been superseded by a later model and is now ready to be enjoyed by its next lucky owner.
