So this is my second time of owning this car, just so much fun and very reliable. This won't be for sale until end of July so this is just Gauging interest for now.
Those of you who have seen the car or been a passenger can vouch for it being pretty quick and very agile.
II bought it back in August 2012 as a 1.3 Skip Brown Roadspeed. (check my blog for a detailed story of what I've done since).
It's now 16v with a lot of mods that, together, make this an absolute riot to drive.

Good points - massive amount of history, most work incl conversion carried out in the last 6months. Very tight and fun to drive and due to weight it really does go well.
Driven with respect and always allowed to warm up and cool down properly. Oil comes out as clean as it goes in, doesn't use oil or water, doesn't run lumpy or funny in any way. It's the best 16v I ever had in any car, and revs very eager in ever gear.
Pulls on Renaultsport Clios, CTRs and 6s :-)
Bad bits-
Bodywork. There are bits of lacquer peel on rear bumper, dent in passenger door, dent know roof near aerial. Stone chips on front bumper and, well, bonnet isn't the right colour but I like it. I it will never be a show car but it is all about the smiles per miles and it certainly delivers in that department.
No interior means it's loud!
I will be after £1700 ovno.
I will not sell it for peanuts and it's worth that all day long with the HUGE amount of history(9k+ just from Skip Brown Cars alone) recent work done and overall mechanical conditions.
Pm me for more info or specific pics.
Amin
Here are the most recent pics taken today and some from the last few week.
I have pics from the rear beam build to the conversion and all the welding done so just ask and I'll Pm them over.
