A couple of its owners are active members on here

Fad built it. I think Tom/Ed resprayed it? JayCarr owned it also?

That is really nice tbf
Only thing that leaves it down is the wheels IMO.
As common as they are, set of speedlines would work a treat

My mate (who is also on here) had it when it had the 2.1 fitted. He swapped it for a Nova XE but he kept the engine for the Nova. Was looking a bit sorry for itself when it was last spotted but only the new owner could tell us the condition of it.

Sounds like a pretty good deal. If it needs any parts there will be some floating up for sale on here for a good price
