It is ! I sold it in December for £7,500. He's fitted a new hood & pump etc. which is quite a chunk of money - which is why I never got around to it :D It doesn't look like he's done anything else though. He's angling for a small profit there.

Methinks there are better options these days, even if it would require chassis mods to make it work. Supercharged Duratec or something, perhaps?

"Have the windscreen, wiring etc. 90% there ready to be bolted together"

At first I read this as "90% ready" and assumed the zero exists only as a typo. :?

I now realise that he only has 90% of the parts that would needed to complete it.....

Do not want. :geek:

And by the usual 80/20 rule of thumb, the 10% he doesn’t have are going to be 90% of the total cost. Like that cossie engine.
