running a safe 360/360 bhp according to David at api not really a figure chaser as for me its about how it feels and goes down the road this car is very quick make no mistake it pulls like a train.
plate was on the car from a dealers when i got it.
i was offered good money for it from the local tvr dealer to go on a customers t350 but i turned it down it can be transferred according to the reg docs

i cant see you realising that much for her in the current climate, when you can get much newer cars for a lot less. admittedly not as well specced as this one, but we all know you never get ya money back from modding a car.

good luck all the same,.

ahh the usual comment that you'll never get the asking price, to be fair i think it's not a bad price considering spec and condition it appears to be in, sounds like a well sorted car

thanks mate in the last 2 years i have spent over 22k on this car with various specialist all highly recommended
"its getting a bit boring people ranting about current climate this over priced that" .
the idea of a car forumn is to get a community of like minded people interested in there cars to share there experiences.
i have spent well and wisely not with the idea of making money just wanted to do it right this car is a low mileage minter with all the right bits on it. it may not have 500bhp but for a 10 year old car there are not much better i have got another car now a6 tdi so if it sells it sells if not i can wait just keep it on here till it does thanks for your kind comments tho!!!!!
