Workmanship, looks great. But, under the paint?? The wheels, flares and rear spoiler just don't blend in well.

And, nitrous can be san engine killer. If not done right and used correctly. Truly functional here? or just a gimmick. No detail on how plumbed and how the fueling is assured.

No interior, boot or engine pictures raise a doubt in my mind as well. Lots of pounds for it. in bucks, roughly 50,000!!

That rear end is horrible. Lack of chrome on a classy car that comes with chrome. Don't like. More money than sense.

If you click on the link and scroll down to the main advert you can see the interior pictures.
