As good and as fun as the car would be, it's someone else's project, to find a buyer for that is going to be hard work I would think.

My guess would be in the low £20000.00 unfortunately.

Modified bodywork: Check
Diffrent engine: Check
Modified interior: Check

This will put off most potential new owners, however you only need to find one smile

At the risk of receiving a parrot, what's the plinth in the boot on the bulkhead that looks like it holds a row of tv remote controls ?
It looks like some sort of fuse board.

A lot of car but a lot of money too.

I guess the quoted performance figures are at the wheels?
Crate LS2 in base trim delivers around 400 bhp at the flywheel. This one has been modified a bit so the claim of 450+ is probably spot on. Unless anyone knows different of course?

Hmm, not a huuuuge differance from my RV8. Same torque, bit more power and a lot more money!

Hopefully will last longer when given "the berries"!

Just needs a supercharger, oh hang on, think I've got some form of FI disease. Stand easy.

I'm sure it's an incredibly fast Chim but that interior looks like a tart's window box. Oh dear!
Didn't you miss the bit where you advise that you're only offering your opinion?
I guess I did. If my comment offended you then please accept my sincerest apologies. The opinion was all mine and other opinions may be available.

Not offended at all. No need to apologise. smile

Rows of fuses and relays by the look of it.

The placing of the wiper and the missing scuttle cover makes me think part of the body below the windscreen has been cut away / modified. That would concern me most.
