Hi Ian,
yes, an interesting example.
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C322333#
I wonder why it is for sale so soon after being so personally modified (like the boot lid) and finished?
It has the 'GOO type' extended rear wheel arches still on the car so presumably recently IVA'd.
It's a shame it's on a Q plate as I'm sure this will detract from it's price

It claims (amongst many things re-designed) to have a specially designed nose cone but there is no picture of the front of the car?

Hi Peter,
Yes I agree the "Q-plate" will put a lot of people off.
Boot lid looks interesting. I wonder where the spare tyre is stowed if there is one?
Pictures do not do it justice. It would be nice to see the re-designed nose cone and a few of the engine & interior.

Ian

The previous one on eBay seems to have been sold?

The ebay one was more than I would want to pay but the unpainted one looks very nice and at a good price.

I think Rob has sold his unpainted e36 Sportster.
The new owner has been in touch ref a servo kit! But is driving through France in 10 days time, so is waiting until he returns before fitting it.

For those following market trends....

If I'm not mistaken I saw the following car for sale in Classic Car weekly. Asking price was £12,750.

First one this year.....

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2003-MARLI...item2ec6370c76

Looks like a Ford based kit and it says 3.5 litre so could it be a Rover V8 engine?
