I have not strapped it down yet as i wanted to see what the new owner wanted before drilling. Test drives can be done with it strapped down so its not an issue. i have a pair new straps to go with it. Unlike anything i have driven before it needs to driven correct to get the speed out of it , foot down to the floor will just have it spinning down the road.It's a fantastic car but i have been offered something i have always wanted and i don't have the space to keep both. Bad points:  The speedo is based by a magnet and i think one has fallen off so it currently reads half speed ish, its common according to google for that to be the reason, the fuel gauge can be pretty loose , About 18-20% is where it starts to run out of petrol, i use it like reserve to be honest and fill up about 25%. That really is all i can say negative about it. Viewings are available during the evenings, its at a secured garage with CCTV over it , Bank transfer or cash deposited at the bank with me Open to offers on the price , have videos of it running and more than happy to answer any questions.
