Well known car, I’m the 4th owner and have had the car since Dec 2009, previous 2 owners all from SELOC. The history of the car has been well documented with me.

I used the car for road trips, trackdays and sprints. Maintained meticulously. I had an incident at my last sprint in June that required a new front clam and sill; supplied by Junks (Phil Peek). All well documented and was pretty much just cosmetic, but went for a full respray and a few other bodywork changes at the same time; full details here.

The car has been very reliable, very few issues at all throughout my ownership. Up for sale as I’ll be out of the UK for a large part of next year, and seeing as I only did 530miles in the car between MOTs I can’t really justify it.
Any inspection or questions on the car welcome. I’m currently only available during the weekends at present though.
