It needs some work to finish - engine was test fitted but needs mounting properly and a prop shaft making. The engine is a fresh build that has never been run, the whole car could do with a check over before you take it on track!!
It was a running car before we got it, with a different engine fitted that got robbed... Obviously no v5 with the car, it was built as a track car!
Any questions, just ask - located in Somerset, UK. We bought this car thinking we'd get it done but we've got too many other projects, so this one has to go! It's a great base for building a competitive track car - it would cost you a significant amount more to start from scratch!
