Default Thinking of buying this car - anyone know it ?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2125892.htm

I was thinking of upgrading my old car but saw this and thought it would be a cheaper option and its newer.

Anyone on here owned it or know anything about it?

Any input greatly appreciated.

I recognise the car ........it's been with Redline for a while. Ninnybobs on here was thinking of buying it but I guess he didn't.

I *think* it belonged to someone South Cumbria / North Yorkshire way and some work was done by Scoobytechnix...someone will recognise it.

I know the car well, and it had a good life in the hands of it's original owner. However after that I believe someone tried to get more power out of it and then the engine went (piston). The engine build that's in there now has absolutely nothing to do with us.

Thanks for clearing that up, one of the things that made it interesting for me was guys like you and powerstation had worked on it. Will do some more digging to see who did the engine rebuild. - Thanks again for your input.

I drove the car when it had the Zen build/map in there. Awesome.

The car was then traded in at Redline, and sold on. The engine went bang with a new owner.

It also no longer has the twin plate clutch in there fitted by Scoobyteknix.

Thanks s70rjw and EMB for that.

Ill give an update when I find out more info.
