This looks like a Keith Watson car. I have owned one of the GTR LS7 cars he has built and would say that it was of a very high standard. To answer your question I would say it looks very good value at that price. I would suggest you contact him for more photos and information before viewing the car with someone who knows Ultima's well.
That is craftys car - looked at it a few years back when it was being sold as a part built car but in reality it was part dismantled having had the engine & supercharger removed - you can see this car on youtube running in 2007 https://youtu.be/COZYdldOPgs

Steve. How come it's got a 65 reg?
I'm assuming it wasnt previously registered overseas but run on trade plates but thats just an assumption - I cant comment on the parts and proofs of newness that are required to get a 65 plate issued by the DVLA but they would be interesting to see. We all know that a 65 plate LS7 powered car should be well over £60k so I think buyers need to make up their own minds - it is cheap and maybe the uncertain history is reflected in the price. I did contact the owner some time ago when it was first advertised on ebay and made him aware of what I knew about the car - he said he was not aware and that he had bought the car off Kyle (I forget his surname). When I viewed it I walked away because it was being sold as a part built car, it had corrosion and had obviously had the engine removed and sold, it was part dismantled. That coupled with not wanting a Q registered car meant I walked away.Probably someone who builds these on a regular basis, wouldn't be too hard to produce lots of nice new bills from a newer build and pass them off on this car.
ETS seems a reasonable price for a car with the right bits on. IMO age really isn't an issue for the most part with these cars.

Is this cheap? No it's the best part of 50k correct me if I am wrong but that's still a lot of money. As for the car, not sure why, but it does not look finished fully, it has the right parts etc but the exhaust looks so bad from the rear (lost in the grill openings. A lot depends on a buyers needs, do they want a car to get in and drive, or one to build from scratch. People always say to me bet you cant wait until your build is finished? Actually I can and it will be a day of mixed emotion as the build process for me, will I think be better than owning and driving.
if it is craftys car, yes he ran on trade plates as teh tax in Hong Kong was excessive
its not a new car and im sure Crafty will be along soon to ask for the chassis number
nees reporting to DVLA as a new car is new parts and that chassis and body is secondhand
Kyle Rush bought it and sold the engine seperately im let to believe
