The builder was the SW Hillclimb champ and he confirmed having built the car using a super quick diff known as a Kazz 4.7.

This is the JDM RS edition, higher rev limit of 7.5k and altered cam profile, 6 speed close ratio manual gearbox with lovely weighted JAZZ stainless gearknob (original included), chassis and engine bay bracing. Nice alcantara type original seats. I do have an old ropey MK1 seat which has had the foamectomy if you are interested as part of the sale to gain a couple of inches headroom.

With the trick LSD diff, it’s lightweight and latest tune the car is pretty rapid. I did one track day last year and it was fantastic fun, super reliable and dependable.

I was going to go hill climbing again but work commitments mean that’s not happening, this combined with lack of use and impending loss of my storage space means time for someone who can use it properly.

This is not a cheap s-box, this is a properly sorted rarer version with no structural rust confirmed by the recent MOT & tuning house. Full service including cam and all belts in Feb 24. Just had replacement front OS caliper as per recent MOT advisory so ready for some fun.

This car is not a garage queen; built for fun and speed with some areas for improvement if wanted, including:

1. Paintwork has some bubbles

2. Some lacquer peeling

3. Small cut in roof fabric, has weather proof repair tape

4. Cut in passenger side carpet..

But if full price is met I will include replacement 2nd hand carpet and 2nd hand soft top roof plus the alcantara covered steering wheel which was recently upgraded by Royal Steering Wheels.

MOT until April 2026 all sorted.

Please ask any questions. No tyre kickers. Happy to talk you through any genuine interest.

Located in N Dorset. £6,250

Lots of fun for the money
