two biggest issues with one of those are...
1) the steering wheel is offset about 3 inches to the middle of the car
2) i don't fit!

Great little motor for hillclimbing - strip the interior out, stick a roll cage in, fettle the chassis/brakes and pay a visit to Dave Andrews to get
near 200 horses out of the engine

Apart from the Talon exhaust and the VVC inlet (both done by Dudley at Talon Sportscars, I would imagine - the guy who now has the rights to the GTM
K3) it looks pretty standard and in nice nick to me.
That would indeed be a good 'standard' roadgoing hillclimb car.
It wouldn't win hellish much, but it would nevertheless be a good choice IMHO.

I'd be interested to see how it was lowered. Doesnt that car have the Hydrogas suspension?? If so, it will probably handle better if its pumped
back up again to go as Rover intended
