must be a type'n error?
i also watched the build of this car (and the others.. Jag was the best one) i think it's a car that would have to be seen, on the show it does not look like they give the car a mechanical overhaul ... and i don't like the look of them wheel spacers, might need a good supply of wheel bearings and track rod's at hand.
i saw in the paper that the car was valued at £25.000+

[bradc]

valued?? well I guess someone spent that much money on it....

[dutch driver]

wtf
that thing is the most ugly car i ever seen.

funny looker - the back end is almost like an 840i and the rear quarters are like a fiat coupe on steroids.

why is it the UK car progs only seem to bother with body work / cosmetics and not beefing up the engine / running gear a la Overhaulin?
