Danny D114BCW Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 It was an area members car and a bit of a crappy situation to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Abbott Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Paul's car. He sold it to a mate who said he would hold it to release some money for a business. It hasn't got the 350 horse engine in it Paul built but it does have around 200 horse. Paul is gutted it is up for sale. Great build. Solid shell. Great engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny D114BCW Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Yeh the guy was to hold it and then Paul could have it back. I know Paul let it go for a lot less money than it is up for! hopefully he can buy it back. Shame as he is a great guy and built a brilliant car! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the 350bhp engine that was in it beforewas it a LET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny D114BCW Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I am guessing that Paul hasn't bought it back, what a shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
