But who buys a Spec C for everyday driving and long journeys? That's not what these cars are about.

Anyone ^^

 

given its the only one for sale then 21k lol

 

Me ! What`s the point in locking it up in the garage ? It`s a car, to enjoy, to use. The wife and I fight over who is going to drive. Also I plan to do some hill climbs, and have 2 trips to Europe coming up. Already put 6000 miles on it since it arrived in the spring with 19400 miles on it.
I think I`ll pop out and get some milk in it

 

Good man. Not knocking you, just pointing out that the qualities most of us seek in the likes of a Spec C are the antithesis of what makes a comfortable daily.

I am with you on the "cars are to be driven" front - ours is a broad church, and everyone is entitled to enjoy their cars in their own preferred way, but personally I've never really understood when people proudly talk about "I've only done 100 miles between MoTs" and suchlike. I've just had to call my insurance company to increase my mileage allocation for the second time - looks like I'm going to hit 12k this year, which other than trips to/from my mechanic and mapper includes zero commuting or trips to the shops - 100% pleasure driving on Sundays and holidays.

 

I very nearly purchased an S202 a year ago but in the end I found a Skyline R32 GTR which was too good to walk away from. I still have a yearning for an S202 and prices don't seem to have moved at all in a year. Unfortunately Hurst's have recently sold their Blue S202. I know they've had it for a year or more, and it was the most expensive around, but it did look exceptional underneath, which is what would have sealed the deal for me. They have a Black S202 in stock, but it just doesn't do it for me, maybe with better photographs it'll be much more appealing?
For a few £k more there are a few S203's around, and for a few £k more again there are a few Spec C RA's currently available.
I still think the S202 is the car for me though. I'm one of the few who actually likes the bugeye.

 

There are a couple of Litchfield T25's currently for sale.

There's also one in an auction on 8th December:

The Crystal Grey one has been modified from the original T25 spec, the Blue one on ebay doesn't fill me with confidence (zero rated seller, strange mix of photos) and the Blue one in the auctions seems to have standard WRX alloys, which obviously doesn't stack up.

 

"Blue one in the auctions seems to have standard WRX alloys, which obviously doesn't stack up"

They look like standard 17"" sti alloys that have been sprayed, my 2003 spec c limited had them on before Litchfield turned it into a T25 and added the 18""wheel option. On a positive note my car is the only car that I have owned that I am unlikely to lose money on if I sold it

 

T25 in the auction sold for 11k anyone on here?

 

I was hoping to go to the auction but work commitments had other plans. I might have been seriously tempted at that price.
