Kuldeep is a good pal of mine. He is also a HUGE Cosworth fan, and owns a mint RS500 with a Mountune Evolution 4 conversion (touring car spec) which he has had from new.

The 500 is still on its way there LOL...He is one of the few people that has owned them since new and just cherished them (he also bought a brand new White one in 1987). That car has had serious money spent on it, and in its day was probably one of the quickest on the road.

We took the car down to the Middlesex RSOC meets a couple of times and people would ridicule him for having Ferrari Owner's Club stickers on the windscreen. When he told them that he owned a few of them, they ridiculed him even more...

So, at one of the next meets we went down in a Michelotto tuned F40 with the number plate "F40 NUT"....

he didn't have the white one for long; it was totally standard.

The black one is around 500 BHP. It is an old school Rob Gravett spec engine, but done to the highest standards. It had 8 Greys (4 Bosch and 4 Webber)!! It was mapped at Mountune but not by Ahmed. Ahmed confirmed that to me in conversation.
