Wow, that looks really good! The reason I asked is that it looks like it might do a good job of clearing the inlet on the DOHC engine that will be going in my build.

Default Couple of question for the original poster.

The car looks very nice, i was looking at one another meber on here was selling on ebay, i have a couple of questions. how are the cars for tall people?? I am 6ft 3. Also as there are so few of these come up for sale price is obviously objective but, adding on the (I believe correct me if i'm wrong) increased insurance premium for being a Q plate, and the fact the car is both 2 years older and with an older engine type now, what does the car have extra to make it so close in value to the one below on ebay?? Also are there any more pics, videos, dyno readouts etc??

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2010-HAYNES-RO... tem3caf0705fd

I would be interested in the car but comapred to the only other fully sva'd roadgoing one i have seen for sale am curious as to how the suggested price was arrived at.

HI
There as been cars on here sold for around the same price with and without Q plate.
The insurance is the same its all base on the engine size and were you park it how old you are.
I wouldn’t compare my car with others sold as all of these car are individual.
The pinto engine was built as new Bored-out to 2073cc with new pistons and rings. Crank ground and new shells. New oil pump, water pump the block and head was skimmed and cleaned. New valves seated and a fast road cam with new followers, spray bar ECT. The twin 40s have been recondition and jetted.
The clocks and senders cost over £400. Wheels £300 Shocks £350. and so on

Frank
