RS4_Barry Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Not been on for ages a couple of the scottish tyresmokers had phoned me up to see if I was still alive - I am but I have been enjoying this for the last couple of weeks.

danksy Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Nice one barry I ran around in a well sorted mini a couple of years back. It had a slark racing engine in it and dyno's at 89bhp at the wheels! Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjammie Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Trying to research the history of this car. Who owned it when, what was done to it, by whom etc etc. It was on E-Bay about a couple of weeks ago. Guy wanted £5,995 for it. He said that it was a rally/sprint/hillclimb car & he was in Somerset. About the only difference I could see was that it's now on 6" rims rather than 7" & it has a small sumpguard. Spec on E-Bay was almost a complete crib from the details supplied by RS4 Barry. Engine bay looks exactly the same. Seller stated that it cost £14,000 to build !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
