Looks very smart and clean though, good ones really are fetching strong money these days.

Nice car with a good spec, but it's running a bit too much power on standard engine and box for my liking, I'd be inclined to de-tune it a bit to circa 330/350bhp, I know some get away with it but it's not a chance I would take.

Shame your the other end of the country.
My mate is selling a mint type r with a forged
2.5 CDB.
It's still on the VF28 but mapped by
Andy Forrest using ESL.
