Defintely a home made jobbie
either got a dimma, skeete or prima wide arch kit, can't tell on my phone
and a gordini engine not a STD gt turbo engine.
Looks ok.
Get on rtoc.org some1 on there will know about it.

Looks more like rear engined to me, the engines sitting just about inline with the rear wheels, hardly what i'd be classing as mid engined tbh.

On first inspection i'd have said it was a Prima kit, but
this says it's a Dimma

LABen, did that R5 GTT used to be red????

if so i know that car, bag off shit, truely awful car.

the lad who owned it used to work at Honda, Swindon and used to park next to me. I'm sitting in my Series 2, he always had to park next to me for some reason.
Hgonestly its that bad the paint job is awful you can see where the masking tape was stuck on the car and sprayed by Stevie Wonder.

If this isn't the car, then sorry ignore what i typed.

if it is get rid, its a really bad car.

The owner has solved this apparently. Waiting to see the part that he uses for it. Will get pic up when it is in place. Think he is waiting to put roll cage in first though. Lots of ideas going round at the moment anyway.

To Mark Bizley... no this car was never red! Will be speaking to owner re V5 docs to find out what it was originally. Will keep updated.
Either way, if I don't buy it, I still have the opportunity to race it. Buzzing!!

I think it's still sat outside uncovered in the salty air it's been there at least 7 years maybe more, such a waste
