    John,

    I take it this is the Graham Scott car having its prang in 2003.

    Throughout the late '90's GT racing started to become overrun with bespoke race cars such as the Merc CLK GTR, Porsche GT1, Toyota GT1, Nissan R390 etc etc, rather than true GT cars - such as the Mclaren F1, Porsche 911, Lotus Esprit GT1, Marcos etc which were built as road cars first and then converted to race.
    To homologate these cars for racing the manufacturers had to prove they had built a road going version to make the race car eligible to go racing.
    Something akin to the Stratos & 037 with rallying but there the numbers were higher.
    By the time the EVO was (maybe) ready to go racing the rules were likely clamping down on the "specials" and with no road car version to homologate it the EVO would have become ineligible to take part in such events.
    With the right engine it could have been competitive at some level but with the engine configuration used and lack of development/budget available then reliability was always going to be a challenge.

    Looks like the buyer was Auto Integrale in Reading. Shell stripped off the chassis, chassis looks like it's been repaired/repainted but the project is now back on the market. No price noted on the Facebook post.

    Good spot Guy.

    The vendor has an…….optimistic interpretation of “90% complete” I feel!
