As the vendor rightly says, half the job has been done for you (the easy half, that is)

Definitely a bargain when you compare it with this one.

Rumour has it that it's gone to Belgium.

That one got an entry for the Fordwater Trophy at Goodwood a few years ago when some derivatives got a run out for once with all the other GT tiddlers (won by Swifty in the DART). It struggled for pace as it was virtually a road car. A pal of mine is having a race Ogle built, or was... !! Long story!

Unipower GT's of course are not allowed to run as they don't have any pre '66 race history, like the DART then! :lol:

Oh no. Not 'number 10' up for sale again. I nearly bought this car from a guy in the US many years ago, before it was turned into a race car. It turned out to be a re-shelled creation then, with the only original piece being the Vin plate. It was eventually sold to another American guy who made it what it is now. He then sold it to a German guy who has tried to sell it on many occasions without success. He is very aware of its dubious history but chooses not to be very forthcoming with the truth in his adverts. A case of 'buyer beware'.
