Have you seen this one. The guy is selling it on. He only paid £1420.00 a few weeks ago acording to his feedback.

Hi,

going down the Avon route eh? I'm not suprised that you'd use the bits in something else.... the Cat's front suspension is awful and the rear setup makes it tail heavy. The cat is a fun car but ultimately lacks finesse in the handling department. Tiger's so call "zetec fitting kit" left a lot to be desired as well !

hope the rebuild goes well.
