    Default Bump

    Just a bump for a decent car that is better than described. Great guy as well, will be missed in our paddock. If your on the fence this is a solid offering for a car still capable of running at the front anywhere.

    Apologies for lack of updates - currently waiting for the engine rebuild to be complete so that I can re-install it and put the car back together.

    This car is going to be fresh and ready to race!

    Is this car still available. Did you just sell the spare engine or the entire car?
