I'd have that and sell my Storm to get most of the money back, if I was working currently.

Worth checking it's not written-off, though, and check the rebuild work carefully.
it's obviously been dropped, and from the wording seen a bit of track action, too.
But that needn't put you off; these engines can take that and more.

When you think what a tidy Storm could fetch, it's a steal.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

showing may age as well, because my YOUNGER brother had both a 3l Capri and a 3.5l Rover SD1 Vitesse when he was about 20 to 25............wet country roads were fun! the number of near crashes must have run into hundreds!

he also had a CBX1000, and tried to make a Boss Hoss copy trike with a V6 ford engine..........he liked big engines

having owned 2 capri's in my youth, i can tell you they are fun to drive, i once got the chance to drive a 3ltr, very interesting indeed, a good brooklands 280 special will set you back 10 grand, its trying to find a minter thats the hard part. i still like the mk2 escort rs2000.......... :thumbup:

bike looks like its missing decals.

TBH I could go and buy this and sell the storm, but the storm does what I want it to and I like the half naked look of the Firestorm.

By his "the bikes been used for what it was intended for" Im guessing its been a track bike. A perfect one if you ask me.
