Hmmm, 600 quid, nearly 5 years ago.

Spent a lot of money turning it into a �2k example, though....

Mine's a great laugh on the track. Lairy as hell and chews through tyres
like you wouldn't believe. But more fun than just about everything else
out there....

What about this one.

This one has a Harvey Bailey handling package.
I think the last one I saw was on James May's Bently Blanc Mange.

That would be pretty good - but I'd be worried that it only has a 3 week
MOT and I suspect that has affected the selling price.
