I didn't think that the early prototypes had ATC, or am I thinking of something else? :confused:

Probably, but I think that's the least of the problems.......

Was`nt 003 David Watts car? We bumped into him one year at Reading services as we met to go to Brooklands

that does look like David's car (#003) and thats where I think he bought it from.

But why would anyone by that, knowing that David had many problems with it that not even AE WIlcox could fix (due to prototype electronics) when you could have Brians supercharged car or could of had Gaz's ZT320 for a similar price??? :cool:

007 has ATC

Do we really need to 'rubbish' our own cars in a public forum??!! :(

[Nich]

I think you have misunderstood my post Tony. The specification in the advert (see post #3) doesn't make any sense and is very misleading, hence my reference to the least of the problems being whether it has ATC.

I don't think anyone is trying to 'rubbish' our cars, the seller of this one seems to be doing this quite well himself.
