Performance like that is always going to be at a premium, look at AK's motor.

probably, its changed hands so many times, the performance aspect is the only realy attraction imo, its probably had a hard life since lucky b sold it.
why do famous corsas follow a pattern? original owners builds a mint car, looks after it. sells it to an owner that kind of looks after it, then its downhill from there. Was C13RSA? the other one? someone correct me if im wrong.

it was built by a guy called roy ritchie at his workshop (roy's auto repairs) in arbroath. the engine i would have no doubt is excellent and reliable! roy built my van to start with and i've never had a problem with it over the last 18 months....

its probably very expensive to run and not practical for every day use, i'd see that as a reason.
why does everyone have to reply saying ooh its been for sale loads of times, so what.

thanx martin for pointing this post out. i am the current owner. steve keeping a few bits ?? he kept the crome plug cover and the manifold heat shield. i dont know how u lot can come on here saying it must have a problem with it. ive fixed minor things on it. it had a small fuel leak out the filter and sorted the idle problem. the reason im selling it is im goin back to college and cant afford to run 2 cars anymore and i thought id rather sell it b4 the summer so some1 else can have the enjoyment of driving it in the summer. so dont come on here saying its this its that wen u know nothing about it
