Hi does anyone know the number of Venom's in the UK?

I was lucky enough to find my Venom 600 (previously owned by Jack Villeneuve and given to him by Rothmans) and i had not come accross these before. They seem to be quite popular in America just wondering how exclusive they are here in the uk :O) ?

Yep, looked a lot worse that it was. I have managed to get the parts from America

Rear Quarter
Side sill
Head light
6 x oil filters
and a replacement badge for the front.

The car drives spot on and structurally is perfect. All the damage was cosmetic. The only other damage was to the drivers side wheels but this again is minimal and looks like we can get these back to normal.

Can't wait to get it on the track should be lots of fun!

That's a shame, most of the parts are here in the UK and a lot cheaper

There is a chap John Hazzard has some original panels, rear bumper, rear quarters, bootlid and maybe some more I can't remember.
I can supply you any panel exterior or interior in fibrelass or carbon fibre. I also do aftermarket parts, spoilers, splitters

Hi .Yep.we have a Venom 500 with other go fast mods!Goes like stink and built like a tank.Just be sure you fit something like StopTeck Brakes cos you won,t last more than a couple of laps before your off,or got boiled fluid!Early RT-10,s have a different chassis to the Gen2 RT and Gts car and don,t seem to handle very well without a few suspension mods.Is your a pre 96 car?If so its a Gen1 and these rules will apply.Have fun,TOM

If your car has the NASA air inlet in the bonnet then it will be a Gen2...sorted!
