Litchfield Type 25
#31
I like the old T25 and even bought a reg plate for when I bought one. But at 31k+ I thought it was a bit steep so decided to wait until a used one came up at a more affordable price but alas the wife had other plans so I bought a JDM STi instead. Now Litchfield has a used one which is 24K which is now getting closer to my price range but now I want the new version, always the case never happy.
I expected the new version to be a similiar price to the old one or even cheaper as I thought well it's already a 2.5 - DOH!
Can't see many people going for it at 40k+ though, as there now taking it into some other serious cars price bracket, like a Noble M400 or Lotus Elise 240 supercharged.
Don't get me wrong I love my Scooby and the performance per £ but if I was looking at spending 40k then I would be swayed towards the Noble or Lotus.

After my old T25 the only thing I could replace it with was a newer one and whilst the engine spec was finalised I decided to have it as a Type 20 until my engine is/was ready.
If you can't afford the Type 25 then the Type 20 is more than capable of entertaing you

To be honest I would only do it if I blow up my engine. Although I am keen to change the suspension as I'm getting a bit of understeer and the common newage sti shocks knocking

I wondered why you waited so long

I wonder what this new car has done to the resale value of the original T25's out there (mine included)
