It's on pistonheads aswell for £65000 , one serious spec car for the money but can see it getting broken for parts.
I wonder what he has been towing with it ?

It seems expensive on the one hand, but on the other its a bargain!!! Hell of a lot of car for the money, try getting a super car that does 0-100 in 4.9 seconds for that estimate.

surely at that price, if that is what it makes, it can't even be bought as an investment as surely won't go up too much in value any time soon.

Worth that all day long to anybody who understands the cost of the parts. Awesome car probably the ultimate escort Cosworth. Sure it did a 10.1 quarter mile with a passenger and a bad start and road legal track car.

awesome! Was it making that much power when harvey still had it or has it been changed since? You'd have to be pretty seriously well off to drop £60k on a toy mind - would be nice to be in that position.

It sold originally for £60k I believe without the alloy block engine. It was at national day this year going pretty well, quickest thing out there.
