The car was finished in July 2000. It failed the SVA test the first time but passed the second time.

The car was built with a 1300cc Cross-flow engine, and was then up graded to a 1600cc, bored out to 1700cc.

The car is still fitted with the original four speed gearbox, but goes well. It has now covered over 5000 miles. The longest run so far was up to Stoneleigh this year, covering 375 miles in two days.
