Very nice
Could get v.messy with insurance if/when it gets wrapped around a tree at warp speed and drum brake/skinny tyre combo fail!!!
Still looks a good job though

There would be no issue if all the changes were declared, a sensible insurer would look for brake upgrades before offering cover though:

Nice car, my cup of tea as I've owned 4 Uno Turbos.

I have actually been to see this motor. It was on the bay about 3 years ago. It is a rapid little thing but I will warn you now the little bugger just wont stop. Its bloody terrifying.

I meant more along the lines of this having not being declared!! He answers a question of insurance by saying nothing has changed on the V5 as CC is similar
I take that as not having been declared. Yes I agree this is a clear case of declaring mods to an insurance co. as this little car will get smashed if kept on skinnies and drums

I didn't pick up on that..
When I see anything like that, I deduce the seller is a tw*t and move on to the next for sale advert.
'2.0L TURBO but still a 1.0L on the log book so cheap insurance!!!11one!dd'
How about NO!
