AJ Automotive should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Comtec sold or...

Hi All,

A few weeks back I saw an add voor the sale of the Comtec Formula Ford project in Autosport.
Does anybody know what happend to it?
Is it sold and will we see the cars back in action?

Another question is what with the owners of Spirit chassis? Can you still get spares for these cars? Are those still with Gavin Wills or somebody else?

Does anybody know how many Formula Fords Spirit build?

Regards,



AJ Automotive

Comtec bought out Steve Wills' Spirit marque I think.

The administrator had a sale by sealed tender for Comtec Cars' assets, but this was apparently "won" by a joker who didn't actually have any money. Last I heard the tender was happening again.

The first buyer was NOT a joker, the person with which he was buying the team backed out, leaving him without the necessary funds. It is still for sale. I believe that Spirit spares are still available, maybe contact Wrensport in the UK if you require parts. Although the Spirit is sich an awful chassis, why would you want to?

I don't think you should be seen as a joker if somebody else backs out of an agreement.

Today's Vauhdin Maailma magazine says someone from Northern Finland bought Comtec's FF production equipment, parts etc and will start building new cars next year... First Finnish made car(s) should be in Finnish FF already in season 2009.

The new owner seems to be Mäkelä Racing Team and they will probably call their car Mtec.
