Tsk. The speedo only goes to 155mph, that's not much use, especially if you're behind me and Jim.  ;)

Oh yes, don't you have a lot of parts hanging about ?. Well here's a way to get individuality and save a few bob, (which we Scots like to do!!!).

I confess, if my wife wouldn't murder me if I bought it, I quite fancy this, given a few years to finish it.

PS just noticed, MarkDTM is kind a close perhaps he has a spare engine he could slot in.

Blimey, the old grey cells are working overtime tonight. I remember seeing one of these some 30 years ago, and thinking Wow!!!!!. It was even on the TV. And designed by a chap called Richard Oakes, who designed a lot of good cars, I think the Hustler, which was basically ply sheets glued together with a couple of mini subframes thrown in for good measure. Plus the Midas, the Pegasus (Paradine) the GTM Libra, and the Blackjack Avion.  And he was shorlisted for Aston Martin, his model was the Bulldog!.

Tricky tricky tricky! 16 grand is a fair whack for a car but it's not much for a BMW or Merc. What would sicken me more than anything is the savage depreciation on the vectra. Personally i'd keep my money tucked away for now and run the omega until it falls apart. Ppfffff, I don't know!?! Tricky  :-/

Fair play!

Least my dealer is normally quite good

We have 2, sort of linked lookers,

1, showroom, tiny parts desk, very little stock, they get it all same day from...
2, comercial lookers, van depot, very well stocked parts, always helpful, they love me as I always take the part no's

Well i must admit, i have found a vx Stealers, through a work mate of mine, that has turned out really good.

The head of mechanics is his best mate, and i now get 25% on all parts and all work done :y :y

They have at the Information point, a set of Irmscher Alloys that are Retailed at  800 pounds through Irmscher,  

and want only 800 pounds  Including Pirrelli tyres 235 17 45

Minus 25% god if only i had the Money :'(
