motorsport classified ads

Other than Racecarsdirect, what motorsport classified are people using? I have a specific vision in mind for a project I have on the go and despite knowing exactly what I want to buy, I'm struggling to find those bits on RCD and eBay.

I always pick up plenty from the specialist groups on Facebook which Facebook collates into the Marketplace.

I guess it depends what you are looking for? Ebay for general, club websites for more niche/ championship specific

I've got a few saved searches on eBay but so far I've had no luck. I haven't had a Facebook account for about 8 years, but if I can find a way to sign up with a pseudonym, I could have a browse.

Basically, I'm a stickler for things being at least vaguely correct to the period and I'm building a mk2 Golf which I'd like to feel right. I know exactly what I want and modern stuff just won't do.

I want a kevlar bucket seat like you'd find in a 90s touring car, rather than a modern one with wraparound head 'wings'.

I'd like a Momo steering wheel but to be honest, the modern ones look identical to the older ones so that's not such a big problem.

I also want some proper period correct brake calipers, either Brembo, AP or Alcon. All brands you can buy off the shelf but the brand new ones don't look at all right. I'm not bothered if the newer ones perform better, the look is more important for me, and anything will work better than the standard setup.

Finally some analogue gauges. Again, something I can buy new but if I can find some nice ones of the correct vintage, that's even better.

I'm not in a rush for any of it so I'm happy to just keep searching but if I can expand my options outside of where I've already looked, it might be a quicker process.

I know saying that nothing needs to be in date might seem odd in the motorsport forum but I thought that despite having no intention of racing the car, this would be a better place to ask than the track day forum, based on the type of bits I want.

Looking at that list I think ebay and Facebook groups would be your best bet, perhaps with some wanted posts, although you may struggle to get accepted to groups whilst you have an empty profile.

Motorsport Auctions, not strictly an auction platform,plenty of categories to suit .

Fairly new to the market this site but its a local racer behind it and it seems to be growing well.

RaceCollective.com seems to be quite good at the moment for club cars.
