It's Chris whatsits old car, AKA RO162, AKA Urbalizer (is that right, can't remember)

[andygtt]

so much of that ad isn't true... exaggerated to the extreme lol

[Blu3R]

What's not true about the ad? Apart from the wheels not being made by Azev.

[andygtt]

1 former keeper from new? well we know he sold it and then it was smashed up by the new owner, he bought it back and repair it himself.... 600bhp! on stock pistons and his spec turbos.. i think not.

its a good spec car with some nice mods and plenty of time spent on it, but given the price, its major crash repair history and the advert its not an honest car.

[mgbond]

It contradicts itself. The car is 520bhp but maybe it's suggesting ECU can be tuned to 600bhp which we know it can.

I personally think its worth that price rather than the 40k odd it was up for last year.

Chris did a lot of work to this car and he didn't hold back on cost.

I doesn't mention it has been crashed and to be honest, that might not know?

Whats the raised pad thing around the handbrake? Can that be bought somewhere or was that something that was custom made?

Thanks

Thats his custom re-trim.

So how does the price compare with a standard M400 then?

I seem to remember much debate at the time as to how much more the car would be worth post the mods.......

Point is it's a modded GTO3R with some unrevealed (in the ad) history.
So really as always it's what someone is willing to pay for a crash repaired and modded car.
I'd suggest a standard M400 un-modded (though with necessary fuel pump etc. Gremlins sorted) would be worth quite a lot more.

Thanks Tony
I didn't think Urb had started with an M400
Can't see any mention in the ad (as viewed on a tablet) that this was once a GTO3, however M400 is liberally plastered through the ad

[PeterM12]

Ive been to look at the car and the engine plate says its a 3r
The paintwork is a bit taty and would need looking at and its not got a tds which seems strange for a car with that bhp

[TuxMan]

It's not a M400 engine either , it has std cast pistons and T28 turbos so will not make over 500 hp .

[SwankBaton]

Seem to remember Chris saying on here he had de-tuned to approx 450ish?
someone check his youtube channel lol

[Mike Tuckwood]

Any news on a new owner for this, I'm certain I saw it driving into Nottingham on the A52 today?

The ad seems to have been withdrawn...
