Nope! The HP is far better!

I had forgotten how good and nippy they are, and as for the handling? WOW!

So......
Car is going really well now...
It does 120MPH +, with the 131BHP and a 5 speed connected to a 3.70:1 LSD rear.
Chirps the tyres in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, Not 5th though!
Is really rust free, And I mean really!
Handles fantastic, this thing is on rails, I swear.
Best bit is, I am using it every day, 70 miles a day.
All this fun for three an a half grand? Makes you think dunnit?
How often does the Dodge come out?
Anyway... well pleased, would like to think it's a keeper, the club reckon only 50 left now.
What other overlooked fun cars are out there I wonder... New thread?

Holbay Hunters and Rapiers , bit heavy on the steering but lots of go, and some very 70s colours.
I await the torrent of abuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am far to busy driving it! I haven't got time to take pictures! I have done over 400 miles this week!
It is far too dirty to take pics... You will have to make do with the one I posted earlier.
I keep looking at it, and all my paint
I have just taken more orders for some helmets and bike stuff! I have NO time at all now what with work as well.

Hi Jeff,
I found this in the batch of old 'Motor' magazines. I thought you might be interested.
It is a two page ad. In a later issue there was a condensed one page ad version.
All the best
