Would the CGA apply! As a racing car could reasonbly be expected to crap itself at any moment as they are thrashed to the limit constantly.

Yes the CGA applies (assuming not sold at auction, and not sold to business).
Just how far it applies, is a matter for the courts.

+1 You'll find that people with race cars sell them business to business or privately to avoid complications from the CGA. The FTA still applies in business sales, so the vehicle has to be described correctly.don't say it was owned by Stirling Moss if it wasn't.lol The FTA doesn't apply to private sales.

Given that manufacturers can void warranty if a vehicle has been used for competition purposes would the same not apply in this case. I can just imagine some numpty over revving a race car, poking a leg out of bed and claiming the dealer shafted him.or worse that the air conditioning was not functioning.

The traditional threat of a broken arm would usually fix things.

Compulsory CGA is bollocks , anyone (private or dealer) should be able to sell anything at any price , regardless of new or used , without a guarantee providing it is clearly aknowledged (signed) by buyer. If I am happy to buy something as cheap as possible , with no possible warranty issue comeback whatsoever for the seller , why not !

Simple - just sign a piece of paper absolving the seller of any claims.

I agree that's the way is SHOULD be, but that's not the way the law is.

Not that simple. No contracting out of the CGA, even if both parties agree to.

A few years ago from the dealership I sold a SSS SR20 DEt bluebird that had loads of mods and went like a cut cat . The very next weekend at the Wanganui (Heads rd) drags the owner cracks a piston after winding the boost up to 20lbs . Monday him and his Mum are wanting their money back and talking court and disputes tribunal . It happens . I didnt give them nought , I sympathised but not my fault . Never got to court , as they learned they had broken it through abuse , it didnt break itself . Sell your race car as that "A race car" . Set up for the track and built for racing purposes only !
