Ive posted one, but it wont load!

I was all set to buy it and he dissapeared, then told me he's been in a bike crash! Then started saying come and get it, then would make an excuse... In the end i blew him out!

Think its a T38, fresh build, polished/ported head etc, ncant remember exactly?

I got the gut down from 17K to £13K too , which i found strange? but i guess the accident may have caused that? Bargine IMO, Had it done 40K ish IIRC?




sure ive got more

Gloss Black's rock, very nice mate.

think ive also got some pics of this car somewhere, but it will only be the ones i got from yourself Karl, and if my memory is correct i think i spoke to you about this car when you were thinking of buying it, and the T38 does sound very familiar.

Relatively rare mate.

Solid black is a fairly wanted colour to be fair. Ive had Imp blue and red before, but when all polished up, theres nothing nicer!
