Everyones been helpful. I am still going to view it but since last night I now know.....

Am not buying on sight!

Know it is £1000-1500 over priced

Is an 87 pre lit chassis with an earlier ali body fitted

The modifications bodywise are nosecone, vented bonnet and tight fitting wheel arches.

Will check the tyre size - what is standard btw? And I actually like the hubs.

Know I have to source wet weather gear either buy or make (neither a problem but still a cost) as non standard.

Will go over the V5 and docs with care checking chassis no.

Make a list of what every component is taken from - brakes, steering, suspension uprights, gearbox, axle even pedals.

Know that the dash will require work but thats personal choice.

Inspect as much as possible the quality of the build so take him up on the ramp offer!

Does that sound like a sensible approach? After all I do still like the thing!

Peet, that is a much better buy. I think its only just been put up for sale. Check the spec against the one you are going to look at. I know which one I would spend my money on .

That's similar spec to mine.   Gonna be a bit too fast for you after driving campervans :) .   Good price too.

If you want a unique car maintained regardless of cost :(

 

 

My car will be up for sale very shortly, if you are interested drop me a PM for specs.

 

 

Built by Mac1 motorsport

 

 

It has an aeroscreen at the mo, but a couple of hours, will take it back to a full screen and weather gear, all included in the sale.

 

 

:) :)
