424BHP Scooby-£8500! (over £40k spent)
Unfortunately change in circumstances mean i have to part with my Scooby wagon. The car was built to its current amazing spec by its former owner (stan s off sn),
Receipts for mods/labour (excluding original purchase price) that I've kept total about £40K. There is very little in terms of further modifications you could want, (little else to spend) so unbelievably good value for what you get !! Receipts available with car.
Most people do the engine up and hope the standard transmission will hold together - it won't for long ! Engine AND TRANSMISSION over engineered at current power output for longer life. 424BHP/378ft-lbs @ PE
Printouts available.

The car is perfect for everyday running, the previous owner used it every day, i only get her out at weekends as i use a van for work. She runs on super unleaded and methanol. (5 litres per tank full, but dont worry the methanol works out about 90p-£1 per litre).

I would have thought anyone of the regular tunners should be able to do this, and probably sort out the launch control as well. Probably loose the 24bhp. But still 400bhp and a bullet proof lump and transmission represents great value for money and performance motoring. 40K of mods and time for fundamentally 4K........ Base car 4.5K, so only asking 4K for all those mods.

Congratulations, good luck and very best wishes for the future, Richard & Laura.
Unfortunately sacrifices have to be made for the "big picture", but like me, you are one of the lucky few people to have owned a fantastic drivers car and will have the memory of the permanent grin whenever you drove it !!
Better to have owned and sold than never to have had at all !!!!!
Hope you find an appreciative new owner soon. Its a snip at that price.
