Purchased as a load of bits. The vehicle has evolved over time. Recently fitted digital speedometer hence mileage of 337 actual mileage unknown. MSA log book for sprint / hill climb - sports libra. Extremely good power / weight ratio. Very light car. I originally built it to hill climb but never got round to it. Now running the T5 box it is very long legged with huge amounts of torque from the engine. I think it would be more suitable for European Old Timer Hill climbs, rallies or tours. MOT TAX exempt. Will consider interesting P/ X.
