My mate painted it, I remember seeing it's chassis originally a few years back when I carried the doors down to the Gould workshop and thinking wow. The Carbon doors weigh hardly anything yet are still solid and don't flex.
I think Gould had a lot to do with the Caparo T1 testing.

Yeh, I think you're right, X trac is only 2 miles away from Gould so there may be a connection. I think the owner now lives in Jersey?
