I think this is Hypers old car, not long been sold to current owner who is now selling it again??? Why so soon??

eBay item number 251252776986

I had thoughts something was wrong with the car but couldn't place my finger on it, just a feeling...so passed on it. And now it's up for sale again???

Anyone know in the community of issues??

Bodge??? Not really that's the amount of wiring on HD lights and its difficult due to lights being in bonnet smile

But does anyone know why the car is up for sale so quickly after bring sold??

The original owner (Hyper) was banned from here and his story seamed to change re why he was selling it....that and he was calling we a lot chasing me to buy it...came a cross desperate to off load it quickly...which is why I didn't buy it....despite the new rebuild by JBT and the head by Babz....it just seam weird....I mean why goto all that trouble and mobe, to sell on so quickly...and then when it is sold the new owner has it up for sale within a couple of months??? Seriously am I missing something here????

Yes you are
Simple money.


I challenge anyone to find fault with that car.

I worked night and day to get this right for Ross and was disappointed when he sold it so soon after.

His circumstances changed so he had to sell up and I respected that.

This current owner is a forum member by the name Dalton.

He purchased the car and then soon after had issues financially.

If I had the money I would buy it tomorrow.



Not everyone is trying to rip people off,he's a nice chap and the car is TOO cheap.
For anyone doubting please go on my Facebook page and see the time money and effort that went into this.
I cannot post it on here due to conflict of interest.

Hopefully JBTs last post will put an end to the speculation that this is a dog of a car and people are trying to rip others off,if JBT says its good enough for him to own then its good enough for me and hopefully the rest of us?
Now ffs can we move on?biglaugh

Sorry if that came across that the running gear had issues, this is not what I was implying...I was simply asking if anyone knew of any issues in general as it seamed strange that's all. All be it the engine is in top condition (it even has a new crankshaft!) but there could be other underlying issues with other areas of the car.

I'm sure there's the odd dead fly on the bonnet as there is with any second hand 13 year old car.

Mooks, I think JBT would have addressed those if there were any.

Ross put a lot of money into the key areas on this one, partly through 'oneupmanship' but still to the benefit of a buyer.

I saw this Coupe a few times at John's (my alternative residence crazy ) and the work done was first class. All subjective, but Ink isn't my favourite colour. If I was looking for a Coupe in this colour this particular example is damned good, and an absolute steal for this money.....
