Default help guys.is this a car anyone knows?. unique too

http://www.classicandsportscar.com/c...xample/2706994


hi guys. read all the bad reviews and dodgy dealings about this guy.i went to view the car yesterday and all seemed to match the ad. i started it up in side and all seems well. i have asked to put the car on a ramp and a test drive and he agreed no problem.this car will be replacing my 33gtr track car.it will be mainly track used with the odd trip to the ring.i have read they are a little rare and he said he has owned it for a couple of years. i have hpi checked the car and alls well so far but need vin no etc to go further.i know they have a bad rap but as i build track cars nad engines have some idea what to look for when viewing.i suspect someone on here either owned this car or knows one of the 2 former onwners. if that is true lol.


any info on this car wouyld be appreciated bernie

As you say dodgy garage, but given the mods then very pricey imo. not had rebuild, just had turbo and associated bits.

This used to belong to a member on here in Scotland (i think). Im sure he called it the badger. Do a search mate you may find some info or his profile. A guy from Slough bought it then it went back up north, so im not sure if the 2 previous owners stack up or if one of them was a trader and didnt register it as an owner?

that car is at Clives performance Pistonheads adverts. He got a really big stock of cars.
I wanted to look at the 450bhp type r he has, but the drive is 9hours and you guys don't trust the company. So I didn't take the chance. Did you see that car?
