Designed with an exhilarating driving experience and all-out performance in mind, the Scorpion P6 is a single-seat tricycle, legally registered in the US as a motorcycle and fully street-legal. Hand-built using a mixture of tubular steel space frames and a semi-monocoque aluminium chassis, the P6 is powered by a 600cc Kawasaki ZX6R engine, producing 126bhp at the rear wheels, via a six-speed sequential gearbox with reverse.
Scorpion themselves describe the ethos of the P6 as “hardcore, street-legal performance” and aim to take down more expensive, far more powerful cars with their light-weight single-seat weapon. For those of you that like figures, the P6 weighs only 730lbs without a driver, giving it a weight/power ratio of 5.8lb per bhp. Zero to 60 is achieved in 3.5 seconds, and 100mph is reached in around 10 seconds.
Purchased in the US by the one and only keeper, the P6 was delivered to Guernsey in the Channel Islands.
Having accrued only around 280 miles since new, the vehicle has formed part of the owner’s private island-based collection, where it has been enjoyed and lovingly cherished.
Kept entirely in stock condition other than a few minor modifications in order to obtain the UK SVA certificate - making it one of, if not THE only road-legal P6 in the UK - the vehicle spent most of its time in dry storage on the island.
When new, the P6 cost the equivalent of £33,000 plus shipping costs, meaning this is an opportunity not to be missed by any high-performance driving enthusiasts.
One thing we should note is that the vehicle will be subject to import duties and taxes depending on the country it is sent to following the completion of the auction, due to the vehicle being registered in tax-free Guernsey.
Included with the vehicle is the UK SVA certificate, import form, and all paperwork and documentation supplied from new.
The Interior
In pristine, ex-factory condition, there is no sign of any wear-and-tear to the functional and driver-focused cabin of the vehicle.
The carbon-fibre lightweight seat is unmarked, the adjustable Tilton pedals free from any heavy wear, and only the most minor usage marks are visible on the control yoke, most notably on the brushed aluminium centre casing and the upper edge of the right-hand side.
As with the cockpit, the space-age bodywork, exposed suspension and function-over-form design of this hardcore Scorpion P6 are in virtually as-new condition, on account of the vehicle’s extremely low mileage.
If you look closely, you may find the odd stone chip or very, very light mark from enjoyment, but that would be about it. There is no impact damage to the bodywork, no scuffs or noticeable scratches, and no wear visible to the lightweight wheels.
On account of its low mileage, the vehicle is yet to require any servicing or maintenance, and there are no known faults with the mechanicals of this P6.
As we’ve stated, the vehicle has been mildly modified to meet UK SVA regulations, but there have been no aftermarket performance upgrades or additional parts fitted outside of SVA requirements.
Will you ever see another one? Most likely not, and almost certainly not on UK roads.
Completely legal for road use anywhere in the EU, this is an extremely rare opportunity to obtain an as-new example of a unique and hardcore sports vehicle, benefitting from being UK SVA certified and ready to enjoy, requiring only registration and duties to be paid in its destination country.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
