Yep, love that. Wish I had the money for a 'proper' mini project - but real cars always get in the way!

Agreed, and I'll never sell mine - just keep reshelling - but its only a toy. Along the same lines as a mini-moto I suppose!

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

Everything is expensive over there Alex!!!
4100 quid is a price i'd expect for Rightline's work - I'm sure our seller will get a lot more than this for it once the auction closes however!

I thought I got the impression he was going to do a honda conversion or similar; clearly he bought a Cosworth instead LOL

Quite easy if you pay someone like Rightline to fit a weld in cage.
