If it went for the price mentioned on the other post, then quite frankly somebody got a good deal. Well sorted machine, sure Porkie and all involved with its development will miss it.
Congrats to the new owner.

Im sure Lee will tell you what is needed.

But apparently the guy is really nice, not really into the ford scene, just fell in love with Patrick after a quick ten minute drive...... who can blame him....

Lee and Renton seen it and bought it as half a car when they seen it at Martins place. They decided to put a little cash each in and before you knew it this was the result.

I think that's correct.
