Tatuus RC-98

[Jim Gustafson]

Very nice "Italian Job" manufactured in Concorezzo, Italy in 1998.

Originally raced by Robbie McGhee in the pro series, and was maintained by Dave Conti. Robbie was a front runner in that series. Brian Davis finished 3rd with this car at the June Sprints in 2006. Set up sheets and notes go back to the '98 season. I have raced the car occasionally in vintage since 2013, where 12 or more FC's are not uncommon. I've never had a DNF.

I am offering the car with an incredible spares inventory, and the following is just an overview of spares in addition to what is on the car currently:

Narrow track suspension
Misc. suspension parts and accessories
Dual shock set up

Springs (19 pair)

beautiful car....

has Purple Frog written all over it?

I have to admit I checked out this ad. Having owned one of its sister cars I have a bit of history with the make.
Construction quality is far superior to most English cars. And I can attest it is a very safe chassis, The aero package was ahead of its time. On high speed tracks it is a rocket.
The spares list with this sale is quite impressive. For instance, I might have kept mine if I could have afforded another bellhousing.
Adjusted for inflation this car is priced at half price of 20 years ago. Phil and Rosella still have most spares still available in the U.S. of A.
It would make a great starter car and competitive regional racer.
OBTW, I know nothing of this cars current condition other than the pictures you can see above. Its not mine, nor do i have any affiliation with the seller. Just want to see more FCs on the track.

OBTW... first thing I would do is get all those awful fake Ferrari-wannabe decals off that Italian beauty.
