J566NDF Capri green G40 with glass sunroof

Just wondering whether my old G40 is still out there costing someone a small fortune?

I bought it in a bit of a state with battered and rusty arches, missing bits of trim, tatty doors and a dealer fit glass sunroof.
 

I swapped out the fuel tank and inlet manifold from a GT and replaced the missing trim, put a pair of cloth corrado seats in it, cleaned up the BRV (not quite a mirror finish), added a front adjustable strut brace from the cup car donor and fit some front underside and rear strut bracing, put it on cup car suspension with ultra stiff bushes, 300mm front brembo brakes, cup car exhaust, Jabba rebuilt and ported charger to R1 which was further polished and ported by Andy Boakes, 58mm charger pulley, Jabba sport induction shield and filter, 51mm throttle body, Alard multi core intercooler in original mounting point, front mounted oil cooler and an oversized oil catch can, Sachs ceramic clutch and a quaiffe limited slip diff.

I sold it to Andy Stagg with all the original parts plus a spare engine from a cup car donor which was a 1308 with a 272 piper cam, green top injectors and vernier pulleys, obviously wasn’t still sealed as I’d had it ported. I believe he changed the suspension, brakes and removed the braces to use it on the road.

I don’t know whether the spare engine was ever installed by the subsequent owner(s) but the original engine was pretty potent anyway especially once I had it mapped at Jabba sport. Just a shame I hardly ever drove it.
