Got my name down on one already. There's a thread on here somewhere, will find it.

AFAIK, the Sultan had a batch of twenty made up for him by Cosworth at a cost of over £1 million in 1993. He used seven of them, PMC have bought the remaining thirteen. 500bhp is the start point.

spoke to The Chaps -- could be tricky getting into the RT

Oh, I left a message on your mobile -- could you give me a ring if you got a second? I need to make wheel and tyre decisions on my RT
