thats one hell of a price reduction it was up at 85k a few weeks ago!! I cant understand why its being sold to be honest. I saw it being built and its awesome, not sure the engine will be very nice on the road without a cam change.

Great car for someone

Well, it's not road legal - is it ?

Also, is it legal for MSA sanctioned events, with a driver-controlled rear wing ?

God I wish I had the £48k asking price, I would jump at it, sadly from a personal point of view rather than an engineering one, the factory comments are true but also a testament to the structural integrity of what we buy and build, after the tyrewall incident at 130mph, I am proud to have come out unscathed and would very happily have rebuilt the car myself if time and money had permitted, but I think Rusti has done a magical job, just disappointed he may not have had time to explore all the corners of his creation's potential. I applaud what you have made and would gladly buy it back if my 6 numbers come up, or the veterinary business picks up suddenly.

I have my suspicions!!!! There were a couple of shadowy figures lurking around the ex Colin Blower car that would be prime suspects! Or maybe an ex owner who went to the Pork side slipped back in to the fold?

Who is your money on?

When you say you "just raised the cash" ....

Have you SOLD your car ??

....Or did you just have a spare 50 bags lying around that you had forgotten about ?? smile

obviously wasnt good enough though!!!!
You know when you have lost tough, when you have a brand new Ultima pre registration and you fail to get another and you start to sulk like an 8 year old. Other half thinks im a spoilt brat!!!!

Was a great buy though.
