Except it isn't, it's a saxo VTS 1.6 16v that somebody has bodged another Saxo VTS 16v into the back of.
Stereotypically or not, the ad sets alarm bells ringing, if someone works full time building racing cars yet describes people as "car infusiasts" and "big boys" I really doubt they're the type of people I want building something like this.
283mm rear brakes is going to be nothing short of lethal, yes it will have more weight in the back, but really? No mention of bias control, and the cooling appears to be "cut a hole in the rear wing" and "reverse bodge the rear window" open, so that should create a nice bit of drag on one side of the car.
The gears are described as "a bit tricky" and he recommends "trailering it away until you get used to it". There's also no way in hell it's road legal unless you have a particularly friendly MOT tester who's not too bothered about his testers certificate.
If it looks like a nail, and it sounds like a nail...
