Performance facts and figures are notable by their absence.

Can't see it having more than 250-300bhp/tonne. Which is not bad, but hardly pant wettingly scary is it? Looks dodgy as hell too

I just dont get it.... why do people write such shit adverts for stuff on ebay? If he had written a few lines about the history, the performance etc in proper english, with punctuation, paragraphs and the like I might have been interested..... as it stands I wouldnt touch it with a very very long stick and neither would any competition driver I know....

A guess:

110bhp
750kg
0-60mph = 6.5secs
109mph
Crap handling and brakes, hence scary

I guess that depends how bad the handling is!

This was up for auction at the Cheffins sale at the Autosport show. It is scarily put together. The hinges on the drivers door are bog standard door (as in your house) hinges screwed to the outside.

They never built a long enough barge pole for me to want to give it a prod.
