I agree with Dave - for the money - there's nothing potentially faster or better handling than one of the bike engined 7's, particularly secondhand. Just get someone really competant - if you arn't sure - to check it out for you. At the end of this years racing season there are also some ex-racers that have had huge sums spent on them up for sale, have a look at
http://www.750mc.co.uk/ for the classifieds in there. I've a factory built Stuart Taylor 'Blade that was bought in this way for exactly the reasons you describe. Why I've got the General Lee Cortina (that also appears in the budget article mentioned earlier in Circuit Driver) is a bit harder to explain, however. Orange cars are definately faster!
