ISTR it being mentioned on Blatchat - go take a look. How about stretching another £8k to a new R500? Factory cars always sell for stronger money than non-factory

[shipseys]

Many Thanks ..I'll go and have a gander

That is a top car, built by a respected Duratec mech. If I had the money I would deff have a look .

My car is about to go on sale. Much faster than this car or an R500. See www.the-webbs.com/k2rum/k2home.htm

50bhp more than the new R500. Its got a sequential box, its got a gerarbox ECU allowing flat shifting. 9750rpm 2.1 litre Vauxhall Touring Car sepc engine, 159mph genuine top speed, 0-60 2.5 secs, Qtr mile 10.x secs.

If you are a handy driver you'll thrash everything on almost any track.

from what i have heard on this forum your car's acceleration and top speed is often dictated by recovery trucks.......

Why did you edit your post?...andd what did you say?

Arnie's car, at the last price he advertised it at, would be a good buy for someone looking for a well sorted Vauxhall-engined car IMHO and from my personal experience. His website pretty much gives a "warts and all" account of the car's life and there's enough internet evidence of his adventures with it too.

My original comment made reference to the title of the post as I own the car in question and the 'genuine buyer' had stopped all communication after expressing quite an interest. I edited my comment after he got in touch.

Don't panic, there weren' any anti- K2RUM comments.

Looks like a very nice car, but then so is the new 500. I would want the 500 with the sequential box so really my choice would be dictated by price. There are some very nice high powered, low revving Duratech cars out there and this looks like one of them.

As for a 2.1l Vauxhall running at 9750 rpm..............eek!
