Almost unique: the Sarcon Scarab built in the early 1970s by Sarcon Ltd.

Racing car chassis manufacturer and fiberglass specialists based in Yeadon, Leeds in the UK.

The Sarcon Scarab offered here is actually the only 'production car' with a fiberglass body - the only other Scarab in existence had an aluminum body.

Unfortunately, we still don't know what happened to the company Sarcon Ltd. happened, but the fact is that they were closed very soon after the launch of the car.

This first production car was used for sprinting and hill climbing in the 1970s, the former English license plate of this car was 'CBH 336K'.

Unfortunately, the license plate has been lost over the years.

In the eighties this car ended up in Belgium with the idea of restoring it.

This was started years ago and the body is now 80% ready.

Unfortunately, the project failed and the car ended up in the proverbial corner.

The current owner has decided to sell the car now, due to other projects that are still there. And now he also wants to reduce his collection somewhat.

A unique opportunity to acquire a unique car.

This car is a must-have for the MINI enthusiast who already has everything, or of course for an enthusiastic hobby restorer who will wake this Sarcon Scarab from its slumber.

(It sounds like the story of Sleeping Beauty..)
