The guy was clearly a dreamer when he picked it up.

If he'd of told me his plans before money changed hands I'd of probably kept it.

Are we talking maybe 3+ years ago? And said 'Ryan' had a cosworth? As I bought it from down south somewhere quite possibly Surrey, it was a running redtop gte when I bought it for £450 then I sold it as an xe ready rolling shell
