I don't know.
I told the guys to buy a Seat Lion TDI on diesel, and prepare it for the Endurance series here in Holland on circuit zandvoort in the winter
But they want to race yesterday (if you know what i mean)

Maybe it's the one prepared for Brazil, when all the sponsors realised how crappy this car is and pulled out?

This must have been one of the cars that traveled to Brazil after the embarrassment at Australia. The team lost all its backers (MasterCard, Pennzoil, etc.) after being so far off the pace, but it still traveled to Brazil and attempted to race.

Incredibly, even Bridgestone distanced themselves from this car. Note how the sponsor-less car now carries Goodyear tyres (and TINY logos) on the front wing!

I wonder if HRT will buy the car and contest it for the 2011 championship? :)

For what it's worth someone on f1technical.net bought a Honda RA-107 without an engine on the cheap. Here's the thread on it:

...interesting that someone's suggested fitting it with a turbo diesel (to run it on chip fat) or an electric motor, so that the whole Earth Dreams malarkey might have meant something.

Even with the battery and motor from a milk float it'd go faster than it ever did on track...

before you buy it I would weigh up the cost of getting everything on it done so it's running if thats what you want on top of the 55k they are asking if thats what they want still compared to some of the other running cars you can get. I'd try that other one aswell see if they will take an offer on it

It's ironic that not all of the Mastercard advertising is there on the engine cover, considering it was pressure and non-payment from them that caused it to be such a fiasco.
