This was for sale about 2 months ago.
It was built by a chap called Glenn Whitocks from Somerset.
He started his own 'company' GW Performance.
He also built a cosworth powered 3 series bmw before redline/reyland built one and then a rather mad 500 bhp P100 pickup.

Now driving a Lambo and partially disabelled after a work accident.
