A true gem for vintage motorsport enthusiasts, this 1953 Staride MK3 Special F3 500 represents the golden era of 500cc lightweight single-seaters. With a recent history in the 500 OA’s hill climbing competitions, this beautifully engineered racer is a thrilling piece of motorsport history.
Fitted with a high-mounted small fuel tank, gravity-feeding a concentric carburettor, it is powered by a Howard Cole 4B JAP 500cc engine, previously fettled by Jan Nycz. This meticulously maintained example is race-ready, having competed most recently at this year’s Wiscombe Hill event.
