There's a reason they were rare, given away by the amount of engine rebuilds, i am surprised it was only 2.

This is what happens when "mates" put up adverts - errors and BS are inevitable.

I thought PHs didn't allow users to advertise cars that were not their own?

I scrapped one of these a couple of years back. It was completely stripped as the bloke has a couple of them. They seems OK for a bit of fun, but as mentioned, they weren't too reliable.

If it is running 300bhp then that would explain the rebuilds

It might be pushing 300bhp, but I have the distinct feeling you'll be pushing it...........
