Surely Top Gear should buy it. Then they could send the celebrities round the track in it

About 10 years ago, i stuck a 2 litre fiat into a Riva and Hot-Rodded it with some success. The TV and Mags loved it! Which lead to a few road cars, similarly built, nothing even near this thorough (think LAda gearbox / grinder on springs to lower it etc! )

Probably the most fun cars i've ever owned - the look on peoples faces when their "hot motor" gets trounced by a Lada is Priceless.

I'm tempted - I really am. The Sti goes in January.....

Question

what do people tink it's worth? for 5 or 6 grand it would be a great car for general larking about, but i suspect the seller is expecting silly money due to the TG history, and the fact that they said at the time £100,000 of work had been done on it.

maybe because you can sell any old tat on ebay for several times more than it's true value?

REV - i think it was something like 12 lotus engineers at £120 per hour for x no. of hours....

obviously they all had to be paid to wait around for Clarkson to say something funny...

He's not won it PG.
It's just the reserve he's met. The auctions still got over 5 days to go.
