This looks cheap for the spec & work carried out inc "Just had a complete bare knuckle bodyshop strip and respray".

Looks too good to be true! - well I suppose it depends on who carried out the work, esp the engine internals

Has the car (or owner) ever graced this Forum, Anyone know it/seen it etc..?

Yeah but what's with the STUPID seats? I really like the wheels but also he doesn't mention how he's got the car to 280bhp?

Yes those seats - OUT & an email to Country Cruising wink

Yes like I said its who carried ou the work & what has been done, he doesn't mention the spec of the turbo or any associated mods.

Mign't be worth looking at if someone is close - too far for me to bother on a whim it could be the bargain of the year.

Might be worth contacting him via email and asking what he has that has made the engine that power and is there a graph to prove it?

Yes & who carried out the work, obviously partuarly the belts & turbo

Even if it does need some work if it has had a 'complete bare knuckle bodyshop strip and respray'

& it's a good professional job it could be laugh for that price

I may do just that on my dinner break today...

It's still on a standard intercooler, so 280bhp will be pushing it.

The seats look good (for a trackday), but not if you want to get in the back !

worth a look I'd say....
