I am trying everything in my power to attain details about this car. If it has a nice engine and transmission it could be one of my cars to own before I die.

You would think they would now the name of the car for 315,000. Yes radical in the window and the pictures look like outside of AUH at the autodrome

Thinking of buying a shed for some fun.

Had one of these before and whilst they handle like cr*p they are great fun - anyone know this one?

I would imagine jase would be perfectly placed to comment......

can't see all the pics, is it the one on hamman wheels? that's been on sale forever and so i doubt 20k is the low limit. also maybe crashy on those wheels but no doubt could be sold to some local fanboy for a decent wedge.

can't comment on a 2.8 manual. the 2.8 auto feels quick but i think that is more to do with power delivery. you get a pause then a shove and a roar but you look at the clock and its still well within legal limits. prob. no bad thing for these roads and it makes a fine cruiser whilst being suitably nippy in traffic.

the mcoupe is totally different animal but you will be lacking in power and handling over that so also not a decent comparison. i was spoiled by 2 weeks in jase's over xmas and now covet one dearly.

got a lot of time for the breadvan in all its forms. it fits me well and is a superb oddity.

[Anorak mode on] Radical SR3 to precise. [Anorak mode off]

[Chessers]

Yep that's the one, useful to know that it's been on a while as well so cheers for that.

Not bothered about the wheels at all, so good idea to sell them on. Will drop the guy a note and go and see it.

Cheers

Mileage is getting bit leggy on that coupe so probably due a good services, all inc fluids diff and box.

Unless the suspension bushes have been done recently they will be shot
gear linkage probably needs rebuilt
the seats probably rock and the windows my stick, all simple fixes

[Chessers]

Cheers Jason, will go and take a look at the weekend.

fwiw I think it looks ok on those wheels as it's been dechromed.

Not too sure about the 'homemade' M Coupe exhaust mod. Looks like he has cut the exit hole in the rear bumper with a bread knife!

lastly, just a heads up on this one. yorly if it pops up on evolve please bear this in mind

read the description and work recently done. this car lives in my car park and the owner frequently revs it hard from cold. it was also at the autodrome track day where it expired after the first session with transmission / clutch problems!
