I wouldn't pay that much for it, but it does look good

I seen that before
Its supposed to have a load of modifications
Suspension bits, exhaust etc.

Anyway, not worth 42K in my book

I've seen that car and even thought about buying it. It's had a lot of work done to it. Engine brakes suspension wheels spoilers and twin scroll turbo. They recon about 380 at the mo but good for over 400 with the right induction kit. I drove that and a cosworth they had and honestly thought that was a better car.

It does look nice though

They've let Pro-R loose on the standard car i do believe.

Still a tad pricey.

I've driven both too - very interesting to compare them. The blue saloon felt faster - less lag and very direct. Firm ride and pretty special. Lots of mods on it, hence the price tag. I came very close to buying it too!!!

Verses the Cosworth - power delivery felt different - seemed slower but I dont really think there was much in it. I preferred the ride of the Cosworth - suited the kind of driving I do, not as hard I thought. Much preferred the seats in the Cosworth too - a minor thing, but miles better for longer journeys I felt.

No doubt Crossoroads have done a great job on that Saloon. Was so so tempted, but have pretty much decided that for practicality the hatch is what I will go for. Now just to decide if the Cosworth is a better long term bet, or go for a Plasma Blue Hatch and get it modded over time (well, maybe not over THAT long!)

Must be extra 10k for the rear wing

Its big enough to have cost that much!!!

actually dont like the wing on the saloon - but each to their own
