Woww!! :jumping: beautiful doesn't begin to describe it. I've always wanted a 1 to restore. Looking more like a mk2 now tho. These things are rare (in good nick).

Nice find. :happy2:

Not a fan of it sorry.
Just too many modified UK ones about without getting in to US and left hand drive as well.
I remember having a drive in a 200bhp (flywheel) 2.0 16V by BRM and that was enough for the shell, chassis and weight imo.
I also don't like it without the bumper box sections blanked off, if it must have no bumpers. I would have stuck some series 1 crome bumpers on it myself though.
