That ownership never lasted long, or was it just to turn it

I think in Uk no one wants to buy a car with such interesting history...

The intention was to keep it long term and do track days etc in it. Unfortunately due to a change in my circumstances this was not going to happen and as fun as the car was on the road it was totally impractical to use for any long distance trips. (I must be getting old!)

As has been well discussed on here and on Facebook I advertised it on Ebay and the German site to get maximum coverage and the previous accident was openly explained to anyone who enquired (Although not a legal obligation I thought it only fair to do so). I had offers from two large UK VX dealers who were happy to put their name to it and sell it on my behalf but it sold privately before I did this.

It's a great shame I never got to use the car to its full potential as I'm guessing not much would get near it on a track day. Full credit to its original builder. I've never driven such a well sorted and balanced car. Also to the previous owner who repaired the original accident damage. Yes I know he has a very chequered past on here with previous projects but he has obviously upped his game as this was very hard to fault.

Contrary to the suggestion made earlier the car has not been stripped! I had a myriad of spares that came with the car which I have now been selling off on here and on ebay as they will no longer be needed.
