There are only 2 bad points with this car:
There is a fault with the ABS but I’ve never bothered to try and fix it as it turns off ABS and TC control which is perfect for me when racing as it means I don’t have to try and remember to turn it off everytime I start the car, so it has never bothered me.
It also has the odd mark and small dents in places, it's been used for racing after all. But I had the front end sprayed and a couple of bits so overall it is in decent condition.
I’ve got a 52.7 round Brands Indy this year and I am by no means a pro I know there is a 51 in this car with the right driver. I came 4th overall and 2nd in class in the Quaife Motorsport Saloons championship, competing against cars with 500bhp etc, it has held it’s own.
I have been to Nurburgring in it a few times over the years, my quickest time is a 7:51 BTG, again more to come from somebody who knows the Ring better.
It has been has been a great car to me for 5 years but it doesn’t meet the regs for the series I want to race in and I’d rather somebody enjoyed it as it stands.
The car is currently non road legal but that is only due to the MOT running out and as I trailer the car everywhere now then I didn’t bother renewing. It would only need a horn to pass the MOT (I have it but removed it)
I can knock money off if the seats are not any use to you, as again I can re-use those so saves me buying more. And the same for other parts that you may not require but I will find useful.
I have a lot of paper work for this car which will all come with it and it gives you an idea of how much money has been spent to bring this car to the reliable and highly modified stage that it is currently at.
This car just needs a transponder fitted and it could be raced straight away. The only thing stopping me continuing to race it whilst I build my new one is the fact I've had the front end sprayed!

I am happy for people to come view the car or chat on the phone with any questions they still have.
