2007 Suzuki Swift Sport Rally Car

Thought to be ex- Steve Perez; also Zac Hughes/Chris Evans car from 2017 Plains Rally, National GB Wales Rally and the Woodpecker (Chris Evans has 112 recorded rally starts since 1983 and Zac Hughes has 42 recorded starts according to the eWRC)

First registered in December 2007, this Swift is fully road registered and has been prepped suitably for motorsport. The validity of the safety features may of course need updating/checking before it is taken out competitively again, although potentially this could be a great starter car for involvement in the rally world.

Thought to be originally prepped by Suzuki, although records on file show mileage as only 10 in 2012, which was when it was owned by Rally World in Maldon, Essex. RW are very well known specialists in creating many successful championship winning cars. The competition car logbook of this time confirm fitting of the Suzuki FH-RC02 roll cage, door bars, kevlar full shielded plastic fuel tank, fire extinguishers and harnesses.

The car then passed on to Brettex Site Services in Chesterfield. From 2020, the car was registered to well known rally driver, Steve Perez of Chesterfield, although it is not known if he ever competed in it.

Soon after this the Swift came into the hands of Zac Hughes who competed in the above rallies followed by the Whelan Racing Team who entertained themselves racing in Spain in 2019/2020, which tallies with the official verification stickers on the roll cage etc.

A rally car that does not appear to have been raced ‘hard’ it is surely ready for another competing youngster and has bundles of spares included in the sale.
