Evening both,

This is the same car that John Clarke posted about this time last year - see his Series 1 for sale in North Yorkshire post...

Cheers,

Mark

Been talking to the current owner and its quite an interesting car.
Left the factory with an aluminium body and 1098cc engine.
Look out for it at VSCC events.
