not for me that one. impressive power figure but must be awful to live with....
I can see it as something that has short term appeal - hence it being up for grabs just 3k miles after doing in £45k
I would be surprised if he got anything like 30k for it. hopefully he does as he would have lost enough as it is at that price.
And those stickers.....seriously why stick all that crap over it?

OK, graphics off, that's essential. Respray it black, just to make it faster. 
I would be happy to see how much of a pig it is to handle. I could live with a point and squirt, just to say i had SEVEN HUNDRED HORSE POWER.

I've built a dozen cars for this guy over the past 20 years. He's always done the same thing. I've been given the car and asked to modify it. He spares no expense, and enjoys the car for around 6 months after we're finished. Then he sells it and starts again.
He isn't short of cash, he is a successful businessman who bought his wife a new Range Rover Sport only a week ago.
The car is a superb driver, not laggy at all, and we wouldn't see any reason why it couldn't be run around all day on 600 bhp plus on V power.
The graphics would come off in a morning.

How much upkeep would a build like this need then?
Would parts need replacing regulary / engine rebuilds? I don't know, just out of curiosity. I'm guessing not just a 6m oil change

Not short of cash, but a little lacking in common sense then

Alan,
Cracking build you have done there!
A lot of this is down to the intended use. Using a car for going down to the shops is a world apart from taking it on track and really exploiting the engine. These types of builds also require someone of "knowledge" to run them. Don't think you can take the car on track and pound the **** out of it for 45mins and expect it to stay in one piece. You have to treat it with respect to a degree and accept limitations, or suffer the possible consequences. If your REALLY going to use that kind of power.... get your wallet out!
