Unusual car but with smoke on over run and other issues it's never going to get anywhere near the asking price, even of all issues sorted it still wouldn't be worth it, I would think with the issues and a potential engine rebuild needed, as when my car smoked on the over run it was rings, it's worth 3k max. Looks like he will keep it and try again in the spring.

nice little unsuspecting car.
450 hp per ton though would yield alot more than 110 mph trap at pod though.
id of thought a stage 1 saph would trap 110 mph would it not ?
im sure my r32 would trap 110 mph at pod and thats only 300 hp ton

smoke on over run is prob the turbo. I like, love anything a little unusual - would genuinely love to stick a 200hp cvh turbo in a citroen 2cv for straight line laughs!!
