I would not pay anymore than 4k and if it is dave preeces car then I would stay away. I've seen the way he drives. its not more than 95hp at the most so if he is lying about the power what else is he lying about.

this is dave preece's car

yeah 16V 1242cc. 86hp standard. they are not fast to be honset. fab throttle responce and easy drving round town. good first car but they are not fast. I can't belive he is advertising it as that.

with a supposed engien bore and head flow + K&N 57i and that exhaust he got 1hp less than a car with just a 57i kit on it. only thing he has got since is a differenet filter and a supersprint manifold. no remap or anything. I suspect 90-92hp max
