Is it a "Good un" Andy or one with a chequered history?

This will be the same car then:

Been for sale for a while and been on and off eBay as well if i recall.....

Hi there - I have just made what I thought was a reasonable offer on this car which has been accepted - please do tell me it's a "Good un" before I pay the deposit tomorrow!!

Thanks

It looks OK but the power claims are very ambitious. It would need a lot of work to achieve those without a turbo.

P3RSS had trophy induction, high lift cams, remap, cup exhaust and other work to make a genuine 182bhp. That gave 0-60 5.7s & a true 150mph on VBOX

Well deposit paid this morning!

Thanks to Andy for a comprehensive checklist which I have asked the dealers to work against to confirm everything in order.

I am relaxed about the engine power claims - they are only for pub talk and forums - I managed to gain 30 bhp on a turbocharged MX-5 just by driving 5 miles to a different dyno :-). I will feedback on the Spider power/torque when I get chance to drive properly.

Also there appears to be some expensive parts thrown at it which have not been reflected in the price.

Anyway once I get in the power to weight ratio will be knackered!!

I will update once it arrives next week.
