Reading the first few pages i'd say there isn't an engine in it.

There's an old twin turbo F1 engine sitting in Queens.... I say we nick it and sell it to him for a wee profit lol

Is it actually a car, and not just one of the mock-ups they use for shows and stuff?

Sounds a bit odd just putting in a huge bid, not waiting to see what others bid first...

Actually.... wheels aren't too bad. £39 each on ebay.... i was gonna buy one and make a coffee table out of one over chrimbo!!

i've only glanced at the other thread, but it says there's no steering wheel either..... £20k's worth, and activates damn near everything on the car....

Not sure if anyone's been following this, but the car is 90% complete (y) and is due to run at Castle Combe in the Castle Combe Formula MonoLibre Series.

The car will be running a three-litre 500bhp Harley V8 engine and Hewland box.

He ended up sending an email to Craig Armstrong (from About ScarbsF1 Scarbsf1's Blog) who put the owner in touch with some of the Ex-Honda Aguri staff and the project took off...

They sell the x F1 cars a fair bit, I was around a Ferrari F1 car not so long ago, it had everything bar the engine, but it still had the steering wheel etc...
