The car was always looked after very well and many of the parts on there came from Meteor.

Well done. Give me a call if you want to know more about the dampers! Settings etc.

Hi I'd be interested to find out as much as possible about the cars history, as you know it came from Fareham and has been lavished with attention, It has been set up for trackdays and although I do a few, I will probably soften it off a little for the roads.
I tried to message you but your settings don't accept messages.
Cheers
Gareth
