Yep I do...I know I like it
no seriuos, CRAIG made the car and when it was ready he sold it...and some compagnie bought it for some reasons and now sels it again? a bit strange or it could be, orterwise its a nice example you can not build it yourself for that money I guess...
If I only had that amount of money...and it was in LHD(and ok a reliable M5 engine in the back) and don't have to pay the BIG bpm bill here in NL I would bought it

Hi Gom

this car was built by a guy called michael clark over a period of about 9 months. He bought all the parts from the factory. The engine is a 550bhp 383cui from a company called Fastco based in Niagara Falls (well, not actually in the falls). Michael used the car to commute occaisionally from hertfordshire to canary wharf. He decided after a while that it was not the most practical car for that sort of journey so sold the ultima and puchased a sagaris. Craig then bought the car, i believe 'the family' have a car business and used it as a promotional tool. its probably only been on the road for about 7 months, i seem to recall michael held off registration until the september.
michael is a member of pistonheads and you may still find him on the tvr forums.

hope this helps a bit

regards

dave

His user name should be something like MCLARK (check for posts about a year-ish ago), I visited him while he was building it before I bought mine, he's quite a friendly chap, so he'll probably not mind discussing it...

Thanks guys

Saw the man who tuned this engine for Mike yesterday. He said the car was very well put together


Not sure about this bit though

ad says said:

....the man from America who built the engine says with a few trick bits it will beat the world record car hands down

Hmmm..I wonder what "trick bits" they are then?

[peterpsg]

He's a Yank, and they're ALL prone to exageration... the trick bits are probably a bit of go faster crome...

Not that I'm adverse to a bit of exageration now and then, but when you hear it all the time...

[DHGTR]

no, he's canadian but lives in niagara falls, i'll tell you how fast his engines are in a few months when i'm done. my engine should be here in two weeks.
