Although self proclaimed as yes it's a v8 but doesn't drive well.

Looks like a sketchy build. Fun to know that it exists though

Looks purpose full and a fair old weapon, and no doubt a handfull, its bound to be.

But its a bit Fugly.:|


I know its a lot of money, but on the other hand, you try and build one like that for less.

I wouldn't spend 10k on a mk1 but someone might.

I built it as a very basic concept to prove it could be done, a knee jerk reaction to being told by many an internet keyboard warrior that it would be impossible.

I built it, drove it around and shut the doubters up, it was also a statement that anything is possible with these cars and yes also a marketing tool for my business.

It didn't make a nice car though, noisy, hot, bad handling and just too much engine in too small a car, but a driving V8 Mk1 nonetheless.

It was sold as a 50% completed project needing a ton of work to make safe and road legal, i have no idea if any of that work has been done, it was sold 3 or 4 years ago now. It's very naughty being advertised as a completed Woodsport car as that is very much not the case, i hung a V8 in a Mk1 chassis and got it to drive, that's it.

I wish the future owner well :thumleft:
