Originally built in 1981 as a batch of 5 chassis by Kart Pro for KR Karting in Tamworth. This chassis was originally owned by Dave Malpas who used it to win the 1984 Chasewater KRC 100 Britain Club Championship. Thought to be ‘lost’ until we found it on EBAY in 2012 looking very modified and very sorry . . . . Having been really close to the late Keith Reynolds back then, this was going to be a really sentimental restoration bringing back together many karting friends from the 1980’s. Now returned to the condition it left KR Karting in 1981, this kart was judged runner-up at the 2014 Shenington Rivival Concours and winner of an ASI Trophy for restoration in 2015!
