Of an Ultima GTR or a bargain? Well both as it happens. Paul built a GTR back in '02 ( I think? ) and installed a 450 bhp motor that he bought from me ( that is how I met him ). He has recently stumbled across a bargain of a part built kit and will soon be doing a bit of a stig and building for the second time around. I think that people who build a car for a second time often produce something a bit special if only down to lessons learned first time around and am looking forward to see what Paul is going to do. Paul built his first car factory standard but said he wants to personalise this one a bit and make it a bit more luxurious ( carpet, soundproofing etc? ) but don't let that fool you into thinking that he is a bit of a lightweight, OH no!; Paul, I am expecting great things from you buddy thumbup

Thanks for putting the pressure on mate! Just remember, it is a part-built, so any bits you don't like were already done, and the good bits were built by me

Chuffed to be back in the fold and maybe Bluesatin will answer is phone to me now?

So what does the pile of bits consist of?
Body colour (please don't say its black)?
What standard is the existing work?

Whats there? EVERYTHING except an engine, gearbox & exhaust. I have been through the order the guy made with the factory and he ticked every box. From grill set through fuel pumps to Accusump.

Colour? RED of course!

Standard? The guy is an aircraft engineer! I'll still take my time and go over what's done. It is about 2/3 to rolling chassis.

Guy - I've tried the mobile number I've had since about 2001 and the works number you gave me about 2 years ago! PM me if they have changed.
