Looks alright. But at £24,000 I think I'd go for something else. (Not that I've ever spent that much on a car  ;D)

An awful lot of work goes into preparing a car to that standard (if the ad is to be believed), and it has an awful lot of trick parts (although not actually fitted, by the look of it).

If you're building it to campaign, a C20XE is probably the engine of choice. You would need much deeper pockets to run something unobtainable like a BDA. Engines are a bit too consumable for that IMHO.

Still, one wonders how much that price tag would drop were it a Manta. :-/
