Ok heres the spiel 

The car has been developed and used as a non-competition drift car for 2 years now , the car has been modified to make it fun and easy to drift well , it has great mechanical grip , the steering is a little heavier than an S-body , but has terrific lock and its very hard to spin without doing something stupid , 
Power is from tickover right to the limiter , combined with the short ratio diff the car uses 3rd and 4th around santa pod's big track and 3rd , top of 4th at Snetterton.

On the road , when gripping the acceleration is ridiculous , can really show a few things up on the road and would also make an excellent track car.

the car is registered with a TV car agency which I can inform about the new owner if wanted , video work is fun and pays alright.

The interior is half carpet , no door cards , cut centre console , removed airbags , still retains heaters and window controls , is fully road legal . Seats are clean and no massive rips or stains , both red , Drivers is a Imola GT , and isn't a skinny fit.
Cage is a half rear cage with padding around the head , no frills.

Car has a easy jacking point just under the lip of the rear bumper , means no hunting for the diff to change wheels etc , quick change.

Car has two screens built into the dash , one I used for iphoneto display engine data on track and play music and satnav on the road , the second was connected to the onboard camera system , I can help advise on this if you buy the car and your good , with a veho cam (£110) the screen will relay info and camera and the remote can be mounted on the steering column.
