It was at a few shows a couple of years back and looked good and went well. I'm sure the seller is that guy who's ripped a few off on here mikey buch, so be careful!

Lad called mike hall is selling this car and wont of ripped anyone off. He looks after a lot of cosworths, both road and track cars and has a good reputation. Ive taken my cars to him for years(cosworths and evos) and find him top notch. Ive seen this car and theres nothing wrong with it.It goes like stink too. It was advertised at wrong price by his mate,purely a mistake not a scam.

Looks nice but is spoiled by the fuel tank install. I don't think the price is too far off tbh, there's someone out there for it.

I like it - rims aren't to my taste and the tank install needs tidying but as Martin says it's there or nearabouts pricewise. Pay someone to build one to that spec with that engine and you'll be way over what it's advertised.

Would cost a lot to do this conversion properly especially with that spec engine. You gott put the fuel tank somewhere but it would only cost a grand for a bespoke tank to your own design including the plumbing etc....

We've dealt with Mike Hall for years. 100% trust him and Dan has had work done by him many times and very happy.
