I'm sorry, what are my eyes seeing! There goes an evening reading up about this novelty.

It's an American thing I think. There was an era when any car sold had to have these, even imported cars, when I went there in the late '80's on holiday I can remember seeing a BMW e34 5 series with them. Obviously there was some serious reworking to enable it all to function.

I suspect that's a waste gate through the bonnet too. MEGA COOL! The ad reads like a Toys R Us shopping list and of course...

Quoting the exact reason.why the DVLA should probably be informed : 

The conversion I believe was one of the first VTEC Metro conversions done. It was done roughly 15/16 years ago and has been through a few owners since. Originally built as a track car it has many battle scars.

 

Do we think it was ever used on the road whilst the incorrect Tax was being paid and insurance wasn't valid ?

To be fair.... The 'Ebay thread' has linked any number of *Shed-U-Lyke Vx Nova/Corsa ads "Red top fitted, minor fettling for the road only, still shows 1.3 on docs"....

Wait your turn until Max Mosley's appointment with Helga is over and they've wiped down the apparatus?

Completely agree on both counts.

I quite fancy an early mk3 1.6 Ghia; there’s a crispness to the styling that I really like.  I suspect I’d be a bit disappointed with the experience though.
