No expense has been spared during my ownership in keeping it in tip top condition and specification. Andy Tippett's Russell Alexis was totally rebuilt 15 years ago and subsequently maintained to a very high standard.

It is a three-day event, with Classic Car Friday reserved for cars built prior to 1990 and restricted to 65 entries. HU21’ was one of the five cars imported into the US by Carl Haas in 1978 to kickstart the Sports 2000 class in North America and is believed to be the only survivor.

It was raced in the SCCA by Milwaukee-based Mark Daniels and later by Nick Slevin of Newport Beach who took it to the 2004 Historic Sportscar Racing West S2000 Championship. It is one of the wider cockpit versions so plenty of room, lighter weight than most other 2000Ms at around 300kg as has been slimmed down by with having an electric water pump and no alternator (it has proper Varley race battery and an Andersen plug). Hillclimbing in Australia dates back to the early 1900s, and was most prevalent in the city of Melbourne, at locations such as Templestowe, Heidelberg and Rob Roy. The Gillet Vertigo Pikes Peak is a unique model designed by Automobiles Gillet to compete in the 2018 hillclimb.

With over 1,000 bhp per tonne the Vision has achieved numerous FTDs and class wins in its current form or alternatively the very rare EXF engine (one of five) could be sold to an MG enthusiast and the car reverted to circuit specification for the MSV Clubmans Sports Prototype Championship. High Down force lightweight front wing (over 600g lighter than Carbon fibre alternatives), secondary planes adjustable. The car is for sale due to the owner's recent health issues and to allow Peter time to concentrate on his latest and, hopefully, less challenging project.Also available is a professionally covered Brian James Minno twin axle trailer with tyre rack and winch. The car has subsequently been used in sprints and classic hillclimbs, and is offered for sale ready to use with a useful spares package. Hillclimb races were held in México in the 1960s and 1970s in places like El Chico, Puebla and Lagunas de Zempoala. Complete with 5 spare ratios, running spares, MSA log-book and a detailed history file reflecting the significant sums spent on converting and maintaining this lovely example.
