Many moons ago I bought a completed X99 out of sheer bloody mindedness. Someone challenged me to make it perform and I took the bait. Eventually got 130+bhp out of the 1.4 engine and ended up selling it to a museum in the US.

Which is all irrelevant I know BUT I did speak to one of the companies who built it (the original owner moved it around) and was told that the quality of the mouldings was so bad they'd had to cut the doors in half and rebuild them to make them fit.

No wonder there are so many unfinished Banhams up for sale. I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.
