Wolfrace Sonic

Anyone remember this? promotional vehicle for wolfrace wheels. Built in the eighties (i think) it has now resurfaced needing a complete restoration. The guy wants £100,000.00 for it!
YES REALLY 100K!!!!
Muppet

What a lot of difference that extra '0' makes, I don't think he will get many interested parties soon.
From a sales point of view it would be important to get it changed ASAP, it's not exactly 1 or 2 thousand.

Salesman....... NOT

MP....... Maybe

I believe it was built by famed hot rodder Nick Butler. It has a tubular space-frame chassis and the two engines/transmissions drive two Jag rear ends with their two inner drive shafts attached to each other. Quite a clever arrangement; one diff is a power-lok and the other not (I think!). Looks a but sad now; I'd say ukp 20K max.

I remember sitting in it at the Motorshow....there was a lot of talk about where it was a few years ago.
Guessing at the condition of what we can`t see, and it`s limited 'appeal', I`d have thought one less nought (10k) would be more sensible...if it`s trailer is included!

How much does it weigh, my guess is just over tonne, so I would value at £90 (mixed metal scrap spot price today)

Dreamer or what!!
