Vehicle description
The history of Titan race cars dates back to the 1960"s when Charles Lucas teamed up with Roy Thomas to form Charles Lucas Engineering, Limited. While the duo had success in a variety of racecars including F2 and F3, it was the later Formula Fords that delivered considerable success. During its 4 year production life the Titan won eleven SCCA divisional championships along with the National Formula Ford Championship in 1971 with Jim Harrell at the wheel, and in the 1972 season the team won 35 races between two drivers. Later model Titan"s continued to benefit from a number of improvements and the MK 9 offered here was the final development of the series. Titan Motorsports and Manufacturing continues with a thriving race car business at their site in St. Neots, England. With an extremely successful history in Formula car racing, the company is one of the top manufacturers of racing components with customers including Lola, Dallara, Caterham, Cosworth and Morgan. Titan hasn"t forgotten its roots and still is in the business of manufacturing Formula Ford engines, steering racks and suspension components. This wonderful example has been upgraded to Formula B specifications and is powered by an all alloy, Alfa Romeo 1500cc, horizontally opposed (boxer style) engine with downdraft Dellorto carburetors, producing 175+ horsepower. The engine is mated to a fully synchronized 4 speed gear box, and additionally has inboard brakes, ground effects, new (zero miles) Avon Tires, and a fire suppression system. The car has logged two events on a fresh motor rebuild, but has not been raced in a few years. A well prepared car that was invited to attend the Quail Motorsports Gathering during the Pebble Beach Concours weekend several years, where it was displayed among some of the finest historic racing cars in the world. The car has been a static display in my collection for the last 7 years. It just underwent a complete $2,750.00 service in November 2017.
