This is only a gauging interest as I think in a few months I may be forced to part with my baby :( So i'm Seeing if the would be any interest. Having just bought a house spare money for a fun car just isn't there anymore. I may take it off the road and keep it but I cant be sure! (its looking unlikely)

Those off the forum's and those who know me will know how much time and money has been spent getting this car where it is now & it is a very capable car on track showing up alot of the bigger boys!!

I Would be after £7500 ovno if I was to sell it. (I don't care about your opinion on this price. That's what it is)

I realize I could break it / sell all the parts for alot more than this but I would rather see someone else enjoy what is a great car instead of breaking it for parts.

MOT until May 2013, and Taxed until October.
