Does anyone know anything about these?
Thinking of a little project as a drive to work car, involving a LPG conversion, this has caught my eye...
Why shouldn't I? Does anyone know anything about them?

Sounds alright, providing you can do those rear arches. Also bear in mind it was last severed on 2nd August last year, it might well be a bargan 
Actually I wouldn't buy it with a view to be taking it to work anytime soon, looks like there's a few bits of work to do first.

Those rear arches will cost about £450+vat each to sort
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

ISTR from distant memory the head gasket sealing issue is a design fault on the Cosworth version.

Looks like a scapper to me, plus another quality worded add ?

Get a 'freindly' MOT place to put a ticket on it, dive it for a year or two and then at the end you still have one hell of a donor car.

It'd be with a view to having on the road inside 12 months.
Not worried about the arches, as long as its just the headgasket i'm sure that can't be too bad either?
BT can you remember what the design fault is with these?
