You're a star! Thank you.

PS - the last owner said he used to pay Field Motorsport 6K for an engine rebuild every 600 miles

Contact me if you'd like it done a lot cheaper lol

The car will be getting a Pirtek wrap scheme similar to the BTCC car. Apart from running it in the REIS National Tarmac Championship i dont plan on modifying the car, why would you

Nice car, seen your old Corsa and your videos from BRF, there very little motorsport heritage on here though Kev.

Whats the history on that car then?

I was following the BRC in 1996/7/8 with some friends and the GSE kit cars were awesome to listen too.
