KIT CAR SPOTLIGHT - F2 SUPER SPORTS BY LATHAM

Thumbnail Thumbnail Thumbnail Thumbnail Thumbnail Thumbnail Thumbnail Thumbnail Thumbnail

Available: 1985 to 1990

Brief history of car:

The Latham F2 Super sports was a good attempt at a new design open top sports car based on Triumph Dolomite mechanical components.

A complicated but strong central monocoque chassis is the basis for the Latham F2 with steel front and rear subframes. Triumph running gear, engine and gearbox are used throughout, mainly from the Dolomite but the TR7 could be coaxed to provide it's engine and 5 speed gearbox if needed. Windscreen is from an MGB.

Quite a rare sighting nowadays as only a handful were ever sold, probably in the 10s - 20s but are of good quality with decent fibreglass work for the period. Styling won't be to everyones taste but will make for a nice sports tourer.
