Awesome!!!

 

[DavidG58]

26 tons, even with rear steering that would take some towing off Chester race course ?

It would be interesting to watch 11 litres of torque trying though

luckily it is already over even my dream budget ?

Any guesses on what it will fetch bearing in mind there is a 10% hammer fee plus vat on the hammer fee
Plus storage fees if not collected 2 days after auction finishes ???

Built in 2016, MOT expired in Nov 2017 - 2 Years parked up? Bit odd, but what a machine! Worth watching the Video.

Anything less than £200k would be a bargain I think assuming its what you want of course.

Smaller 10+ litres but I saw it was only 330hp, rear steering might help


a bit.

13 litres and 500hp is normal these days with the more powerful ones at 16 litres up to 750hp. Makes 205 look a bit puny doesnt it

Edit. Thinking about it some more if you had a 26 tonner with only 330 you could easily feel a bit short changed.

500 would do me, I don't want to be greedy.
