Hi Paul (@levo),  I contacted Phil to see what he knows about your car and it turns out that your car has a very cool history.  I am pulling some more details and pictures together and will post it in the "Ask Phil" section over the next couple of days.  🙂

Charley

@charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com Hi Charley thank you that will be very interesting the other thing i noticed today is that the car was a righthand drive and i brought it from the USA the person i brought it from said it had been used as a doner car to build a concept car i doubt this is true as it has been well used by the state of the underfloor and wheel wells .Thanks Paul.

@levo,  It is true, and you will be shocked to find out how famous your car is.  It has been on a world tour and it is one of the best kept secrets in the automotive world.  More to come soon.  🙂

@levo, sorry it is taking so long.  I have to get one more approval before I can spill the beans... but it will be worth the wait. 🙂

I sort of reconise this car, think its an early one. Will be interesting to see what Charley has found!

Paul if you are looking to stick with the Ford V6 we maybe able to help, NA 3.7 in various states of tune, perfect for trackdays and as fitted to the new Revolution car.

Hi Dan i am interested but i am waiting to see what engine was originally in the car as the chassis number states RCN rather than LCN as i would like the car to go back to its original build but if it is something that is unobtainable then yes let me know what you have are you in the UK Many thanks Paul.

Phil mentioned that the rectangles in the front of the car were for the first attempt at charge cooling.  Apparently Radical tried a couple of approaches before they changed to an air to air cooling system which apparently works better.

Here is a picture of your car in the factory(compliments of Phil).  It gives you a good view of the engine.
