- It also includes invoices from 2007 detailing a full engine rebuild with modifications substantially increasing the power output
- A series of further invoices (£6,872) from Motorsport Developments over the late 2013 - early 2014 period detail further setting-up, ignition, turbo and fuel-mapping in addition to cosmetic improvements, attention to detail etc. Just over 2,000 miles since
