As I suggested the group buy I think it's only fair that I have the car for the first year, who's paying the insurance ?

We'll have to build the insurance cost into the group buy, don't see why you can't have the car for the first year but I'll have to incist on the second year as I did find it

FreeT, I'll have to consult the underwriters as I guess 365 different named drivers might be a problem.

I do a lot of rallying and know a few people who have these , if you think the car is expensive look at the cost of spares.

front wing £2500 each
Bumpers £1000 each
Turbo £13000 !!!!
spark plugs £75 each
Special fuel £25 a gallon (does about 5 to the gallon )

Someone I know hit the corner off one , new wing , strut , new brakes , steering arms , ect £35,000 to fix ,

Hi Guys,

Can confirm the car above is a genuine WRC car, it belongs to a friend of mine - Stuart Coupe we painted the car from end to end a couple of months ago. I can honestly say it is in immaculate condition inside and out and has been maintained regardless of cost.

If you want to see a photo it is on my website under rally preparation www.townendgarage.co.uk.

Stuart.
