Yes HKS....but I'm a dealer in sports and performance cars mate
The engine which is rear mounted is a Vauxhall 2 Litre fully specced up.....
Sequential 6 speed
A host of trich bits all over....
Wind tunnel designed at Mira
Originally based on the Mini Marcos but very little left of it
It has done 1 min 44's @ Oulton Park GP circuit
1 min 14 secs @ Donnington National
All with a "sensible" mature owner
Now for my go

Why does it have a pax seat??

no-one is stupid enough to get in it with you at the wheel!!!!!
Are you going to try hill climbing it? or just going straight for Pikes peak???

Can't help but notice (being a compleat tart) that for all the aggresive styling and motorsport feel, that has to be the most boring gear **** I have ever seen!
The rest of the car is the db's though!

Lol @ Ian....
Don't worry mate...it's under cover in a heated garage and I promise not to rev it beyond 5k tomorrow and Friday
I've moved the seat back an inch and it feels a little more comfortable now
