That's been on sale for some time. I think 360 bhp is safe for the engine/ gearbox. Past 400 bhp on standard internals is when you need to worry.

I was interested in this too, but wondered why every other widetrack blob gets snapped up so quickly yet this wasnt budging... Turns out he has no service history book. Might be fine, but not for me im afraid. And im guessing thats the reason its not sold yet as would put 99% of people off, unless he dropped the price.

The car looks amazing to be honest, but for me a car like this with no history book is a big issue and a major loss in value.
I think he will have to cut his losses and drop the price by about a grand so it can sell.
