350 is not un heard of,but unlikly the money will of been spent to do it as the under bonnet view is not goo with  the cack on the header tank.

I had a useable 280 bhp from the same lump in a 800 vitesse a few years back,

Listing looks a bit dodgy to me.

It's a first listing  , 0 feedback

He's got 3 other things for sale all ending around the same time , all with very high delivery charges.  20 quid to send a steering wheel ??

Spelling looks too bad to be true , and he spells words like " question , winning  & bidder  "  OK    ???

He's also got another car for sale in one of the pics .  Bit of a dealer/ dabbler ??

If I 'd  bid 500 quid I'd be a bit worried , might  be interesting to see what happens tomorrow !!

Lol.....nobody noticed that he states

IT HAS NO DOOR HANDELS SO YOU OPEN THE DOOR WITH PUSH A SWICH THAT IS UNDER THE WING MIRROE

Yet the passenger side does not have a wing mirroe!

So either you oress the button on the drivers side wing mirroe and both doors open which would be a right royal pain in the arse or the passenger one can only be opened from the inside!
Title: Re: potentially the worst looking modified car....ever
Post by: Jay w on 06 October 2008, 08:51:56
the problem when i see auctions like this is that i then have a preconceived idea of the seller, to share that could/would be either VERY un-PC and possible a little bit unfair on those who are trying to drag themselves out of the lower end of the gene pool

Mark it is one of those cars that causes that reaction, everytime you look at it you see another abortion  ;D ;D

The back arches are class, look how they have broken up the swage line, this car must have sent shares in P38 rocketing

Simple answer to that one. He clearly doesn't have a SWMBO and none of his mates will be seen in his car so he's not noticed this being a problem. ;D

If you look at the item now he didn't get any more bids

In Q & A  from other ebay members , the 1st guy would seem to agree with you lot , but the 2nd guy  , Phill  , seems interested.
Although his question "is there any problems with the car?"  would suggest that he is of somewhat limited intelligence !
