This car would run on treaded tyres not slicks, so spare wheels are not absolutely necessary.
However, the wheels being the original magnesium ones it would be a good idea to crack test them. Old magnesium does not age well.
Spare gears adapted to various circuits would be required to make the best use of the very narrow engine power band.
From pictures of the car received many years ago it looked very nice but it would however require a serious check over.
In my opinion this car is too expensive and this explains why it has not sold.
F3 screamers make a fantastic noise, but are not really competitive.
Frustration starts when you get beaten by Formula Fords. When I was driving my Merlyn FF in the German Open 10 years ago, 1 litre F3s were always behind. A Formula Ford would definitely be a better choice or drop a Lotus Twin Cam engine and a 5 speed Hewland box with LSD (you can convert the 4 speed box) and you would have a fantastic Formula B car. A lot better than a 1 litre F3.
