I am very suprised that they have kept the original front wheel. Surely the bearing would melt after a few runs with that sort of thrust?

PS I think you need to be quite slim to drive a thing like that.

I drove a normal built Sinclair a couple of years ago. So i guess it must be highly dangerous to drive it powered like this. I do agree with insight of the front wheel. It cant resist a kind of speed like this. At last, for show, it looks terrific.

If you read the print on the auction , the seller states that he is selling it to make "room" for a kit car.  How much room does he need?  It is not like it is a monster, its a Sinclair. Poor excuse!!!
