Yes, but for £35k you could buy a car!





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

That's the one that's been kicking around on Pistonheads for a while...

If I won the lottery I might... but then I'd still try to haggle the price down some more!

Nice car- but it's a shame the exhaust headers on the offside look like a bunch of rather painful haemorrhoids

550 bhp is that wishful thinking or verifiable?

Nice car, but looking at other ads on that site, I was more intrigued by the ad in the hillclimb/sprint section for a locost R1 Turbo.
£3750 ono seems a good price for the spec its got. ('though seats seem a little on the large side!)
MK chassis as well..
I know its not SVA'd but wouldn't have thought that would be too major an obstacle if somebody wanted to make it road legal.
If I had the funds I'd be interested myself. Anyone know the car?

Andy.

very very tempting - seems too cheap at less than 4k for a turbo R1.

Hi

Probably because of where it fits into the Hillclimb and sprint class structure.
This would probably end up in Sports Libre up against Radicals, and Pilbeam Judd sports cars and the like.
But looks ripe for conversion back to a road car doesn't it?
