Here and with an M400 engine...

What about the suspension set-up, etc. - too much power for it maybe?!

It would be interesting to know what else has been done to the car along with the engine swap and who its been done by.

If we were to carry out similar work there would be changes and revisions to the car aside from the engine package, mainly suspension related, to ensure the extra power didn't go to waste and the dynamics of the car weren't compromised.

Best Regards
Matt

seems a bit odd that someone has went to the trouble of advertising it without a picture.

Currently at £45K.

mmmmm........

Not much info on it.

I wonder if the chassis number is one of those missing from the factory?

I was just thinking that!! Wonder if its worth mailing the factory and getting them to see where they think R19 is.

Well the "real" R19 is way too old for the robbery - I have 77 and that was a year later but an interesting point nonetheless!

It sounds pretty pukka to me - I am certain that it was a Nick Whale car - silver with red/black interior when I saw it - the car was delivered to them at the same time as my R020

Think your right, the chassis number does ring a bell with me
