Default Something a little special!

Right this is probably a longshot but who cares!!

I have for sale a seriously rare car. This has not been built in someguys shed!!

The car started life as a 1.8vvc mgf in nightfire red. It was then shipped from the factory to a dealership called stephen palmer ltd. stephen palmer made this mg into what the mgf should have been!!!

1st off the dealership fitted a bodykit to harden up those girly looks. Then he went and knocked on the door of Turbo Technics and they offered to design and bolt on a supercharger that would give the now already different MGF a little more power...... 210bhp to be precise

Now it went like stink, showed up porsche boxsters and the like and sprinted on to 150mph with a 0-60 time in 5.5secs

Mr palmer at the mg dealership decided the wheels needed replacing so the standard wheels were replaced with 16" azev A alloys whilst the interior was retrimmed in leather and the dials were replaced with green ones with the trade mark cheetah eyes that light up when you start the car!!!

the exhaust system was changed and the new one soon had war veterans ducking for cover as it roared past.

This particular car was tested by vicki butler henderson on top gear and was featured twice in mg world mag.

The previous owner blew the charger, so it was taken off. currently it runs with no charger. you can purchace a new charger, charge cooler and belt ect from turbo technics for £1500. you could easily make a grand of this car if you fitted the charger again. i can get the parts for the buyer if they wish

if you have read this far and want to know more about the car please email me nicklewis45@hotmail.com
The price is £4250

the sp cheetah:

Not that exact car but I remember seeing similar on the forecourt but most of my time spent there was not pleasant. Nice looking car - hoep come you haven't put the super charger on yourself.

thats right mine was used as the promo car hence the mag features, web feature and the top gear feature.

Did you work at stephen palmer ltd? would you care to shed alittle more light on what happened to it?

i was going to put te charger back on but, due to complications with my wifes pregnancy i have to rent a flat closer to the hospital, 2 lots of rent is a kiler and i have no choice i have to sell the car to pay for it.
I have tried to work it out another way but i cant do it, i would never take out a loan either!!
