£35K is really strong money.....

You couldn't build it fir that price with the development in it. I'll bet it would turn out a bit cheaper in the long run than loads of the 'track' cars on here

I sold it for 25k to him. Its now a better car, has 6 speed R&D dogbox and newly rebuilt engine.

He has looked after it and spent a load on it.

I am still in touch with him. He doesnt NEED to sell it hence the price and half arsed advert I think. he has lots of toys including a Radical. He can pedal as well!

Lovely bloke its Pete.

I dont want it back but if he is serious about selling it I will help him out and do him a better advert.

it sold for more than £24k but less than £35k, i was seriously considering making a bid for it when it was up for sale about 2 years ago, even went as far as asking martin how much it would take to get it bought before my mrs caught wind of it and set me straight about buying "yet another car that you can't go shopping in"

blimey, people are quick tonight

Funny enough i see Rob who done the advert yesterday morning, and he admits the advert is piss poor

But Pete gave him no pictures etc to use and said if they want more info they will phone and ask etc,

It has a brand new rebuilt engine from Martin Hadland and spanking new RandD gearbox, it has not done a single mile since having them fitted.

Pete is a nice bloke who as Porkie says does not NEED to sell it he just doesn't have time to use it with all his other toys and his lad running full season in a motor cross championship,

If anyone is interested, ring the number and they will email you some better pics etc or arrange a viewing

I had the private plate B15 UFO on it. and D8EAM on Skyline. when I bought 911 I put D8EAM on that and moved B15 UFO onto Skyline.... and then bought and put E20 UFO on Sierra so they matched. 2.0 litre... and BIG was what they were supposed to mean

Then F8EAK on 911 when I bought Ferrari and moved to that D8EAM on that.... was gonna put F3EAK on Westy to match... but its to old. So it now has the BYE 3E plate.... which I really like now. Havent actually bought that one yet! still registered to Renton I think?

My mum does all my number plate admin... she is awesome
