Started out as a 1.2, so missing some stronger bits that went into the 133, it’s had a few of them strapped on in the advert mind. I’m not sure if forced induction would suit the car, the n/a 133 isn’t the fastest but it was absolutely addictive with an induction roar and 7000rpm shiftlight that only a renaultsport n/a could do. Personally I’d go for a 2.0 clio 200 converted car, especially one performed by beanysport, they’re held in almost holy status by twingo nerds- just be prepared to be on first name terms with your local petrol station staff
Failing that buy a cheap one and go see Dan. I imagine one of his Honda lumps would be unreal

I’m always highly suspicious of car that have gushing descriptions then say “no MOT”.
Maybe a bit different when mot exempt

I've not used the word Hillbilly for a long time but..looking at that, it's the first word that came to mind.

That would be a great concept - "Let's give Steve a box of wine, load up eBay and an PayPal account with £5k in it. Come back tomorrow morning to find out what he's bought"

And the W8 is one I need to cross off my list…

W8’s are undeniably fascinating, but they fall into the same category for me as the ZT260 in that you wonder what became of the other 80+ bhp the spec sheet suggests they
should have.

Dear James Sir James Dyson : Admin Assistant. Your description sucks.

Is that what SMs are worth now?
I’m sure the last time I looked £20k would get a decent one.

Nah, I’d rather have a real 037. Looks better without the rough edges smoothed out.

TBF I agree. Or save yourself a few quid and get a rep:

A real one sold for similar money to the Kimera in 2022:

It's not bad but I couldn't do it, it would always bug me that the engine isn't longitudinal.
I'd probably prefer a Kimera in a more Stradale spec, keep the Martini for an original.
If you're feeling a bit spendy like that though, why stop at 037?
