This is a fast 3200 450bhp

This car has the full Leo Nardo upgrades and was Simon from Cortese demo car I think....I still have the original article in Auto Italia when it was test driven.......Also it was in EVO up against an AC and they enjoyed the Leo Nardo more than the AC......Back then it had Leo Nardo wheels on it..

It is Benny.....Looks in good condition in the advert and very nice colour combo.....Would loev to drive it...bet its a hand full with 450 bhp...

...especially in the wet with the traction control switched off! Not too keen on the avorio though, IMO, would look better with tan.

Looks like my old car, aside from the yukky wheels. Funny, I didn't know Simon had applied the Leo Nardo mods to his own car. I had asked him about these before, and if he could source some for me, but he was very vague and disinterested. I wonder if he had a bad experience with them.

7 previous masters - a veritable tart of a car.

Plus all the heavy handed press that have had theirs hands on it.....Simon sold Leo Nardo upgrades when he first started Cortese...They they went away and he worked for Ferrari again...then he came back and started Cortese again...Or something like that....When he styarted up Cortese again, which is when I bought my 3200 off him and you had your GS Pat they advertised that they were agences for Leo Nardo but they didn't really push it....In a short while they stopped advertising Loe Nardo....I asked about wheels and the Leo Nardo was about 4k for a set and they put me off and tried to sell me a copy of the wheel for half the price......

how do you contact the seller?!!

That car was for sale about 18 months ago on ebay. Dealer at the time did not know much about the car but I spoke to Courtese and they new the car and confirmed the upgrade.

how do you contact the seller?!!

For general questions; click on the sellers name (groutit5) and under the silhouette that appears on the next page you will see 'contact member"'. Try that.

Are the upgrades listed? It's not hard to boost a turbo-charged car's BHP by 20%, but does it have any other changes to manage the power?

The last thing a 3200 needs is more power ... if you can't get past the car in front of you, just drop a gear!!!

This is the reply I've had off the chap so far....Waiting for Simon at Cortese to get back with details....

The car was sold to me by Car Capital Ltd, who told me in writing that Austin Owen Elite cars had confirmed that the upgrade was carried out. It was bought in good faith as this.I am aware of the Leo Nardo upgrades, I will e mail Simon and Cortese today with the vehicles original Number Plate and VIN No for confirmation.
I have e mailed Simon to see if he has any records, however original Number Plate was V315NEX and VIN NO;ZAMAA38C000001269

Looking under the bonnet the Leo Nardo looked different to standard and not sure if there is any difference under the bonnet......Be interested to see what Simon says...
