Been looking at this car for a while the owner will sell it on to me for £8500.
All in all I like the look of it just hoping you chaps could tell me what you think

it would cost round about that much to do it yourself so looks good.

Have you bought it then? Auction ended.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Good engine but makes the one I sold look like an even bigger bargain IMHO! 
Still v.v.v. nice though!

Not bad at that price, GSXR is little known (in a bec), but they are damn strong motors...
My brothers race bike put out an easy 180bhp at the rear wheel, thats more than a zx12r at the crank, and that was with a full system, pc3, mild gas
flowing, hot camshaft and with a kit airbox...
MK isnt a bad car either...
Opinions are like backsides..
Everyone has one, nobody wants to hear it and only other peoples stink!

I'm pretty sure it's been on ebay before, a few months ago, it failed to sell then too.
When you're "haggling" remember it's been unsold twice now, a bit of leverage to lower the price ?

Yeah, I've also seen it on e-bay a few times. Mind you, they aren't the easiest cars to sell during the colder months.

For that price you can get a top spec STM Phoenix that will run rings around that car on a track.
If you search on e-bay there is a good one listed right now that has been spec'd to run in the RGB class C (fireblade engined). Its also
advertised on Pistonheads..
If you particularly want a seven then the price is OK (not cheap) but be aware that GSXr1000's in a front engined Seven are unproven - be
careful if you venture onto a track.
Before people shoot me down I have owned and driven both an MK and Phoenix (also driven westies and fury too). I'm just giving an honest
opinion
Cheers
