Anyone want to save a Mk1 R5? Be quick though!

Just seen this pop up on RR, looks far too good to crush but might be useful even if as a donor for R4 bits.

If it wasn't 300 miles away I'd have it. But it is, so I'm not.

Yes - somebody needs to buy this asap - it has the 'Hennessey hot-up kit' as standard fitment. ie 32IF carb and manifold etc. You can also use the 1108 engine.

I was looking for such a car to rob: engine, seats... with the fergat wheels would be perfect...
Far too distant for me...

Nice-one Andrew, I was tempted but nowhere to keep it and I'm told I have enough vehicles to look after already.

Hey y'all, little update on this one.

The car is very rotten - very very rotten and didn't end up getting sold. So today I have driven all the way to Devon and back and am now in posession of the fabled Hennessey Hot Up Kit and a fairly burnt head - it's pretty warm down south.

Anyway, car still has a good (51k miles) engine and most of the panels are good especially the doors. I have the sellers phone number if they would be of use to anyone.
