Hi, A team cart called Autorotation was for sale in Aberdeenshire not that long ago. Check out the Scottish Cartie Association web site as I think there was something on there about it. The cart was originally called Tickettyboo2 and has raced at Cairngorm Extreme and numerous other places.

Matty, I assume one of the following is the reason for wanting to buy a pre built cart: 1) lack of time, 2) not sure of ability, ) far too much money.
If its 1 or 2, then I think the Team Autorotation (formerly Ticketyboo2) cart is possibly still for sale. http://www.scottishcarties.org.uk/node/238. This is a well built and capable cart.
If its 3, then contact me I can build you one

Not sure of any other carts that are for sale at the present, but some may come out of the woodwork if there are potential buyers.
Good luck and welcome to the mad world of gravity racing

Yup - this one for sale on scottishcarties.org.uk

Also a whole "Wanted / For Sale" section plus a ton of information you won't find anywhere else.

Are TDR still planning to sell Delilah to fund a new build?

We might be able to sort you out a rough and ready, but fairly competitive, sidecar outfit if that would be any use to you

What does "not looking to pay mega bucks" mean? How much were you looking to pay?

Our new sidecar outfit is pretty much finished and our old one will be surplus to requirements. We haven't robbed it of any significant bits and although it looks as rough as the proverbial bear's backside it goes and handles quite well. If you can capture a willing monkey, it would be ideal for you to get going in gravity racing . Pretty cheap too, to a good home

.

You can see it in action, at Dalby Forest 2011, here: http://dalbysoapbox.webs.com/apps/videos/videos/show/15547878-dalby-promo-2012 (Thanks Andy)

How much would you want for the sidecar outfit and where abouts in the country are you.

Pete, looks as though you may have found a new owner for your trusty sidehack...Good work ! Hope they have as much fun with it as you and Dick ! ! Tell them to put a guard over the back brake .

Thanks Andy - a good point, well made. But perhaps I'll wait to advise 7sheene to fit a cover over the back brake until I'm ceratin that our new machine is lots faster (which it will be of course)
