Sorry for the mistaken identity "OldMil", but thanks for letting us know I was off.

I did some digging on the "webarchive" website and found a link to the original post (on the old forum) for the 1992 SAAC MKI XD-1.
It was forum member "Old5.0" that searching for this car. I've attached a link to the old forum thread for those interested.
There are lots of photos from past magazines, old races, and a few pits/paddock shots.

That archive link is amazing! Can't wait to share it with them.

Sounds awesome.  Excited to see photos.

The thing about that route is: that plan was put on the back burner when someone decided to continue their higher education...so hopefully you're still excited to see photos in another 5 years, lol.

Thanks!!! There is a motor sitting next to it that should put it right back into the 8's if not 7's-the son wants to race it again, but senior has been contemplating selling it, so this has been very helpful information.

The SAAC embroidered leather is accurate. They had measured the roof and thought it was lower, so very happy to confirm they were right.

Engine and Transmission were gone before it was acquired. Otherwise, description is spot on, except seats seem to be fiberglass not carbon fiber.

It's a roller...but the rear end and tubing are all the same/original

Can't get pics to upload here, but there are a couple thumbnails on the other forum now.

That's awesome. They've had the car for many many years, but didn't know all those nitty gritty details.

Ah, yes. Sorry that handle is a little old, lol. I figured you were inactive and that I would try here. It is not in primer, still has it's paint/stripes.

That's exactly the one I'm talking about.

Hi, 
I am new to the forum. I joined hoping to find someone that might help give me a ballpark valuation on a one-off XD-1 with provenance. Or if you could just point me in the right direction that would be great too. (Also, I feel that I should mention that I just finished grad school so any fee based consultation would be kind of impossible at the moment.) Thanks!!
