LAMBRETTA JET RG250 – SUZUKI RG 250 TWIN CYLINDER – 2 STROKE BIKE ENGINE CONVERSION

Nice conversion that. :thumbup: It's not too :shock: because 225cc Lambrettas were reasonably common once the 200cc engine came out. A schoolmate's brother did put a 250cc engine in one but the engine wasn't much better than standard. :(

Looking like good odds on a McLaren if that's your thing, or the £120k alternative. Always think these are one of the uglier Supercars, but £120k is always good looking! :D

A friend of mine just won a Mini from Revcomps

I'm pleased for him as he is a car guy but family commitments meant he hasn't had the spare £ to play cars much for a few years

This is one I would seriously consider. But -
You must be located within the United Kingdom, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man or Channel Islands to enter.
Bollox!!! Oh well. No point looking at the KTM 790 either :(
