- Two-thirds scale single-seater with steel monocoque tub and GRP bodywork - Yamaha 125cc engine with 6-speed sequential gearbox - Extensively restored and re-painted Further Info: Reminiscent of the F1 cars of the early '70s, the two-thirds scale Lystonia junior single-seaters were a development of the Jomoro marque, and both makes were the work of Jim Morgan and other former employees of Alan Mann Racing. Of unique design, the Lystonia featured a steel monocoque tub and fibreglass bodywork. The suspension was independent by rose-jointed wishbones all round. Powerplants were to choice, and ranged from mild 6hp Briggs & Stratton engines to full-house 250cc Bulltaco units. A total of 14 Lystonias are thought to have been completed before funds ran dry. The example offered is chassis No.006, which is powered by a 125cc Yahama engine. This stunning-looking mini-racer was extensively restored by the vendor (a very successful speed hillclimber) for his daughter, and features Bright Orange bodywork teamed with a Black seat. He regards the fibreglass body panels, seat trim, engine and six-speed manual transmission as all being in 'excellent' condition, and the car is now set to provide hours of pleasure for a new child driver.
