Kieft sports/sports racers
Very interested in these cars for the FISCAR FLIERS. Rudolf Ernst, a regular poster here has a Climax engine version, see here
http://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=135851 But does anyone know who bought this:- http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/...0/1954/108900/ And this one which I believe has only recently been sold by Marreyt Classics http://www.marreyt-classics.com/stockdetail.cfm?ID=598 Obviously if owners wish to remain anonymous, please pm me. Anyone know of any others. Last edited by John Turner; 14 Sep 2013 at 10:25. |

Christophe Pund, Galerie des Damiers, is currently advertising the red Kieft MG.
I don't think it has been sold because the owners expectations are apparently rather high and as usual the French definition of restored is rather different to ours! I will send the Fliers info to Bernard Marreyt and ask him to forward them to the new owner of the 1100. Peter |

Christophe Pund is not very good at updating his website and I enquired about the Kieft MG some time ago and was told that it had been sold. Hopefully he will be prepared to pass information to the current owner. |

BTW I did see the Kieft MG when it was at Osenat's auction place, the price the owner wanted would have been optimistic if it had been properly restored and certainly didn't reflect the state it was in. As for others, Duncan had 2 Kiefts that were auctioned in 1998, LDA5 with an MG engine and AK123 with a Climax. Marreyt has LDA5 but what happened to the Climax one? There was also one in Germany years ago (probably in the 80s), I did meet the guy who had it once but I've no idea what happened to it (surprisingly it isn't the one that Rudolf has). |

Yes, it's a super little car. It's Rudolf's (see my first post) 1954 car with FWA engine and absolutely right for the FLIERS. Unfortunately, he can't make it for Castle Combe, but hopefully he will race with us if we get some races going next season.
Incidentally, the No 6 car in the background is Chris Guest's lovely little Cooper 21 which is entered at Combe. Last edited by John Turner; 23 Sep 2013 at 12:04. Reason: Spelling mistake! |

thanx for the compliment we did a comprehensive restauration Hibberd did a superb Job, when I bought it, it was roadworthy but not raceworthy, as in not safe to race, and I value my life so much..... I had problems with a trottle stuck open (later turned out to be a loose strand in the Bowden cable) We tried to fix it in the pits, that did not work, afterwards I just stuck it in 3rd gear and drove to finish could not afford to change gear as the engine would revved to hell Rudolf |
