I think the main issue with it is that it's not IVA'ed?

No mention of TAX/MOT so you could be right. If that's the case, the seller really should make it clear that this is a track only car. No mention of year, or build date either.

I remember it first being for sale for £18k about 2 years ago, mental. In all the time since then the owner could have at least finished it and IVA'd it.

Its got a decent engine in it (probably well north of 5k)but the rest of the car looks poop. The chassis rails are exposed on the bottom of the side panels somehow ?

And the spelling ang grammar in the ad is terrible (not that mine is much better)





I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

The engine, if described accurately(?!) and built as described(?!) and all the other caveats... of which there are many, would have cost quite a bit. Not short of what he is (now) expecting the car is 'worth'.

I guess next year it'll be offered at a higher price, as do all these cars that appear year on year. There's always the laughable 'rejuiced bye £250 this weak only, then I put the price up' strategy. Probably better to wait until it's part of a deceased estate, siezed to pay care home costs.

No mention of the usual 'awsum breaks', but they do appear to 'wiwood' at least.
No mention that the car will 'beat mates impretzer easy'.

I saw a GBS Zero up for sale somewhere (can't remember where) for £14,000 (started at a lot more too), same comments applicable.

How can it have an English axle and a 3.38 diff?! Something not adding up there...
