Picked up Huw's Valver today, shes a go-er!
Tiny little bit of surface rust N/S/R arch and laqure pealing from O/S mirror but thats it, 12 months MOT, 87k, £500.
Me? In someone elses fast car? Using free petrol? Without tax? Down country roads? And film it? I sure did

funny looking coolant bottle cap...
wheres the battery cover?
nice clean heat shield!
shame about the missing strut brace end cap...
tiny bit of rust...nothing is it!
like i said, i bet you dont want to hand it over now 
and of course i cannot fault the choice of phase, shape and colour |

Huw bought my old Valver so I know him quite well, he won the Reddun on eBay but it was up near me and he can't get down for a few weeks so I said I'd pick it up, but didn't want to drive it down the A19 without tax so got the bloke to do it and picked it up today.
Might be having my old one back, maybe 
Thats standard too - unless it has a K&N panel filter. Turned a few heads on the way back!
Not as loud as the blue one but still sounded pretty good for standard I thought.

why thank you roger.
Shame it needs fixed, but then again a hydraulic component thats used frequently and is 14 years old isn't to bad really for lifespan |

Speedo is bang on 90 in that vid (just checked the uncompressed version) and it wasn't a 0-60 video at all, it was drawn out to hear the engine note from a standard car
Stop spoiling everyone elses fun with your arrogance Chris |

hmmmm, are we all gonna have to do videos now hehe
i dont think i got webspace enough to hold the length of video file required for the time it takes my ph2 to get to 130 lol
it gets to 90 quick enough but then seems to take forever to get up that extra 40mph.
It's just not as quick as my phase 1 (which is currently immobile  ) |

suonds odd at the end..
either you put it into netural and revevd it,
clutch is going
or you miss changed a gear...
thats my betting...seeing as i can only see the road
unless your putting your foot down all the time..and the only getting the boost..
like a extream case of turbo lag. |
