At a quick glance it looks to be quite nice.

Has some later parts on it though (wheels & speedo for example) ...

Lightweight sounds so much cooler though! 8)

Could be a very nice car if solid.

Interesting car. If I'm not mistaken, it was advertised earlier in the year by another dealer and has a non-matching engine which has probably put people off. Interested to hear what people think is a sensible "allowance" to make for a car being non- matching numbers?

Also, what else can you tell from the pictures? Wrong wheels, mirrors, speedo ....... I know the pictures aren't great but interested to hear from people with a more critical eye than me!

Thanks
The force is strong in this one ......
