To build a car to this spec at the present time would cost well in  excess of £20,000.

Its always been cheaper to buy, rather than try to build a competitive car.

If you want to compete, or just scare yourself on the road this is the car you want.

Regards .      :cool:

I hope this is not another car that is going to broken to sell it for what it should sell for. The car by all accounts is a highly sorted car and it would be a shame to split it up. :down:

As you’d expect, there is interest in items on the car if I headed down the splitting route.  Personally, it’s not something I want to do  :(

Don’t blame you Keith the spec of the car is a cracker and understand you have had some good results with the car. It would be a crying shame to split it up as its well sorted. To be honest when the day comes to sell my race car (as long as it is still in one peace) I will have to brake it as it’s a narrow body car with a live axle but the rest of the spec is not too far off your car. If you cant get sensible money for a wide body newer car then I stand no chance. :down: Good luck and hope it goes to a good home in one peace.
