Very interested to hear any more on this one if anyone knows of it? Description makes it sound fairly genuine. Anybody got any info/pics of this in its prime if it is as described?

this has been on ebay before, it does look cheap if the history is correct, but it looks as if it is had spent some time in the hands of a fairly unsympathetic owner!

That sounds like a steel at that price.

Just found this. Seems it was bought at auction and noticed by another forum member:

Original or not looks to me as though you would have to throw most of it away to go racin today it's all plastic and other nasty things?
