I spotted this lurking in the stock listings of a Jap imports site.
I know it is supposed to be a Koenig TR, but £135k??????????

The temptation to put on a pair of espadrilles and a pastel coloured suit with the sleeves rolled up is almost unbearable, oh s—t I now have the nasty urge to put on a Phil Collins album as well.

Actually I rather like the look of this but concur the pricing seems to be a little on the ambitious side and I would think the running of the thing would keep somebody like Terry Hoyle in business for some considerable period of time.

When all is said and done a Testa can be yours for £30k or so and a trip to Richard Grant accessories would do the same job for much less

Just noticed this line in the blurb:

The Optimitic Seller said:

By using two alloy spacers and the standard wheel bolts, track could be widened by 10mm


I'd want more than standard wheel bolts & spacers for £135,000 let alone that with 1000bhp. yikes

I wouldn't fit spacers to my mini years ago as I was nervous about safety (bolts shear under strain) that was with 65bhp...
