The price is academic, of course it's only worth what someone is prepared to pay, I would say that this version will resist succumbing to market forces better than the regular models but time will tell.

If you were going to embark on tuning your own car to a similar spec, it would be far more economical to buy one that is done, (as anyone on here who has tuned their own to this degree will testify to) the fact this one has only done 3,500 miles on its Brand new Top Secret engine means it should have plenty of miles left in it yet.

Reading the history of this amazing car, did it not have an off into the armco a few years ago?

Personally I think going for a big single just ruined the car from the drivability point of view. Power delivery of a single is purely for the drag scene. Why do you think Mines never fitted a great big single to their track attack car?
