The car was built for the PPC 999 challenge. I came 23rd or of about 50, and the car a lot of fun.

It is a very clean car, the engine is sweat and it starts first time on the button.

Cam belt was changes at 65 according the engine cover.

View is more than welcome.

This would make a really good summer car or track day car for someone.

I would like to get some of the money back for the bits I spent, so I'm looking for £650.

I would have thought it could be broken for more than that, but would like to sell the car complete if I can.

Thanks for looking, if any one wants ant photos let me know.
(the big stickers on the side can just be peeled off)

i'd sell it complete mate, it would make a great track toy for anyone getting into the game, i'll ask around for you

[Jaffa]

I would prefer to sell it complete. Would be a real shame to break it.

[jnoiles]

Would this actually pass an MOT and not flag up all sorts of modified VOSA/inspection/IVA/fines/etc craziness?

[Jaffa]

Nor even slightly modified.

Bulkheads intact.

I was a convertible, it just can't convert back.

[Jaffa]

Ni time now, auction ended.

No replies back from the offers so now for sale for £550.

[OilyFingers]

Will the roof and screen go back on or have you sold them? You might get more takers if it can be 'dailyised'.

[OilyFingers]

[Jaffa]

Jaffa was looking for his goggles, hard hat, ear defenders, overalls, safety boots, apron, gloves, bump cap, ear plugs, high-vis vest, permit book, method statement, safety programme, safety specs, condoms, breathing aparatus, hand-arm anti-vibration gloves, confined-spaces entry equipment, HV switching gear, boiler inspection kit, fire supressing equipment, etc. I just grabbed the grinder and grinded.
