Nice sensible mods!
Hopefully will go for a good price and keep the value in these kinda cars alive
If I had the space I'd love to get a nice RA and just stash it for about 10 years. Shame my back yard is full of cars already lol

I, of course, wasn't referring to the styling, that was a given

I agree, its unfortunately had some less than tasteful bits added but nothing that is not easily swapped for standard items. It is save'able unlike so many others and if the spec is what he says it is then this could be a bargain.

To state the obvious, ads are the start of a buying process.

I'm not fussed with that ad - full stop.

Bath's not in Somerset.
Got a Caterham but still went for a scooby.
Dyno'd at 420 with Meth, running high 300's without - yet no graphs AND he doesn't have them, so how does he know that's true ?????????

And he bought the car because of all the modifications........

Oh-oh..................

Surely if you were selling this you'd spend a few quid on a dyno to prove its power?. Also no turbo mentioned but getting 420 on meth?.
What worries me about cars like these is, at what point do you find out if it has or hasn't had the forged piston's/rods etc? When it goes wrong?

Sounds genuine to me, and as for the add it's much better than the usual tripe that's written, i'd bid on that if I were you matty.

Possibly.

They're forever tinkering about with boundaries this side of 'The Bridge' as well.

I think that within a few years we'll be in our 3rd county in 20 years (and 4th in 45), and the house hasn't moved an inch .

Ohlins suspension, 6 speed box, forged semi closed deck, Brembo brakes. Even with 360 bhp, on a track would kill 90% of the cars on here. All that and is still under £2.5k
