This looks like fantastic value. I would like to see the final bill for this when it was finished.

I am not sure about the understated look and being black I could never keep it clean otherwise might be seriously interested.

It's not really a GT3, just a 35i with a naff body kit. The main problem is that it's lacking the V8 engine.

I'd also be really sceptical of the claimed 500bhp. They mention it's got an intercooler, some pointless dual cone filters and some exhaust mods, so you're looking at 400-420bhp.

Bit of a sheep in wolf’s clothes, despite the tuned N54, and “the cars potential which, we are informed, was rated at 500bhp”... Looks great, but who would want to be seen in this?

I’d be duck your head below the dash embarrassed to drive that about the estate, nothing more than a bodykitted standard car with seats and a digital dash.....as a show car fine if that floats your boat but pop the bonnet or look at the brakes etc, and it’s major embarrassment... :oops: :lol:

Check out the bag of shite MOT history on the car, it's dreadful. Most people would steer well clear on that evidence alone.

I think its kinda cool... while its not a true v8 gt3 car, its a tenth of the price. A 3 litre twin turbo can make 380bhp quite easily which is plenty to be getting on with, nice set of trackday tyres and set the suspension right and it would be great fun on a trackday.

Well I'm glad i took a look at this, cause I am deffo going to bid on the lot before! I once had a chance of a 3.0 CS and passed it over for a reliant scimitar. What an idiot. The E9 is the most beautiful car ever imho. l just need to sell the wife, kids, dog anything else worth more than 10 bob. Thanks for the link...

Looks like a gypsy caravan! And I hope he doesn't drive the thing on the road with a number on it … if he's a competition licence holder he'd know that's extremely verboten! … :x … More of a gold medallion and chest wig man I expect! … :roll:
