It may look a lot on face value but just look at what you have !!!!!!!!!!!!
A car where build quality is second to non ( hand built ? ) and you know every single nut and bolt .
What on earth would you hope to get for even double that amount ??
Big credit mate :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thabks guys it means alot. The car runs very very well and pulls increadibly straight and planted. The re con purple tag rack feels really tight, it feels like a brand new car. I just gotta get it dynoed and check for faults, and im gunna time a 0-60. If i knew it would have cost that much though i woukd have run a mile, so im glad i went in unknowing really.

£26.5K would buy quite a lot I would think. Looks great though.
