Some very nice driver friendly mods on that, noticed you have had it for a while to scratch the itch, what are the Pirelli like in comparison to the PE2's?

Hello! Been a while. Answer is I don't know (but expect pretty good as they are a premium tyre and more modern than the car as far as I know) because I am so precious nowadays I would only take it out in the dry plus it has a new windscreen and no stone chips in bonnet. The previous owner fitted the Pirellis (and spent half the money on the parts) so I matched them up for the rear. I've just finished the project. Actually I could still remap and a few other little bits.

Happy to have it here until someone sees the value of all the prep and parts fitted, a small fortune. Plus up until the New Year 182 Trophys seemed to be up for silly low money and they have picked up since to a more reasonable level.

I just sold a W Reg facelift EK9 for £7500 so this is fine. Plus I can use it in the Spring for Breakfast Club etc.

Cheers, Steve.

I know the bottom dropped right out of the 182 and to a certain extent you can understand that but it was hard seeing some very nice T's with all the right work done going for depressingly small amounts. Like you I do think the right car with right mods should still command a premium and deserves to.
