for that kind of money, you'd think they'd be able to clean up the engine bay a bit?

I think cars look better if they are left in as found condition, it's more honest so a potential purchaser can see precisely what they are buying.

Is the Sprint fhc the car that Ken Meyers bought from the factory as a kit and then stored for a few years before building it?

Great colour on the Rindt car Derek - thanks for helping me with that, mine is nearly finished too.

Just out of interest, I nearly had that JPS Plus 2 before you got it. Seller was 'challenging', to say the least !
