Couldn't agree more, just look at the detail pictures!
As for the anti-crack red cross tapes on the headlamps....
Exhaust silencer tail pipe says it all.

Typically hard used old race car - OK for a fun way into hillclimbing etc, but I suspect they'll want considerably more than the current bid of £7000.

No details of suspension seems an odd omission for such a car.

Next car Andy?
They look just great but sound a bit ordinary imho, but I've only heard them at full chat up a hillclimb.

That’s the carbon R8 with the matching bus - nice group of lads and an awesome sounding car. Met them at Harewood

That looks like a rare car - V6 Dino-engined Testa Rossa (with independent rear suspension) ?

I was taken around the French circuit Croix en Ternois some years ago in one of these with a hot 1.9 litre engine, it felt as quick as my then 204hp SC.
