Hi Guys. I've been on the lookout for a kit car for a couple of months now and saw an ad on Gumtree for the one in the pics. At a grand it seemed too good an opportunity to miss, so I bought it unseen and had it delivered by shiply.

As expected it wasn't as good looking as the pics, but not too bad. I'm hoping someone on here will know something about the car as there is a sticker on it showing Marlin club member 2008 (I have now joined also). The logbook says it has a 1360cc engine.....is this possible on an A series? The side pipe is very loud, and it runs as if it has an uprated cam. It has been sat a couple of years so it probably needs a bit of a tune up.
I foolishly booked an MOT for Friday afternoon, but at least I can find out what needs doing. I spent this evening sorting all the lights as only one headlight, indicator and tail light was working! Tomorrow evening is set aside for a new horn and steering rack gaiter.
If I do get the car on the road I hope to see some of you at Donnington!
Cheers
John
