Comments:

The car was finished Mar '01 and received its first speeding ticket on its first major outing
to DAX's 2001 open day. Done about 4,500 miles now, wet and dry, no major problems except the dreaded 4x4 gearbox
rattle. Thinking about selling it to finance other projects, one a house extension, another a low cost Rush to
bash about a bit. Due to its unusual spec (ie a V8 quadra) and its award winning build quality it will be expensive.
If £25K doesn't immediately make you freak out or just laugh, and you fancy what could be the best Rush of
them all, contact me.

Here's John's car under construction and finsihed. He says: "The brake pipes are stainless,
tricky but worth it. I daren't think about the hours so far to build really. Does 10 hours a week
for 2 years sound obsessive?. Then there was the 8 months collecting and cleaning all the donor stuff.
Hope it's worth it when its done.
The car is a V8 Quadra, the third of three built (as far as I know). If anyone fancies doing the same
V8 to 4x4 marriage I am happy to give details".
