Nothing to do with me but saw this on PH sales earlier - looks to be somewhat battered after being used as a Sprint car, but the spec looks good for the price:

Previously owned by F1 commentator Ben Edwards (he even signed the boot lid), he built the car with his step-son as a sprint car and sprinting is where it picked up it’s multiple dents and dings. It’s no show car but it is solid underneath and a very good fun, capable toy (handles extremely well).
