I've owned this car for 10 years, first as my daily driver then 6 years ago I started using it only for a few track days a year, driving to and from the circuits. It has been dry stored in my ownership. I carried out the turbo conversion in 2019. The engine was replaced earlier this year with a 70k mile engine after the original one failed at 121k, and is back to running at its best! The car has a brand new navy blue roof fitted which makes it look quite unique. This car has been my pride and joy and I'd hoped it would be a forever car, but lack of use in the last 2 years due to a new family means it no longer makes sense to keep it. Hoping it can go to someone who will enjoy it as much as I have! Viewing is welcomed and recommended. The car is a little rough around the edges, but is solid, runs perfectly and is fantastically spec'd for fast road or track use. I know whoever buys it will love it! Any questions feel free to message - responses will likely be in the evenings. Payment by bank transfer on collection only. I will do the driving on test drives as this car is modified, insurance for test drives won't be possible. Next MOT due 04/07/2025, White, 5+ owners, £5,250
