Tyron "Cannon Fodder" imported this last year, had the work done by that bloke in Leominster and not.long after ended up changing it for his 22b.
Lovely car and very clean example.

I personally would like to have seen less miles as there's not a lot of head room for using it and having it hold it's value. For me it's the kind of car i'd want to enjoy not just park it up and drive it a few times a year in summer as that kind of defeats the object of owning one, so if it's going to see regular daily use it's not going to be long before it's pushing 100k and a significant loss in value.

I'd be looking for one with sub 50k on the clock if it were my money, but your minted so can wear the loss better than me.

Go for it if you've not owned one before, it's only money.

The car wanted for nothing when it came into the country, it has a full service, new brakes all around and anything that needed attention was taken care of.

That's a very good price considering what the car cost and the work that's been carried out to it since it landed in the UK.

You won't find a better example for sale, Fud contact Ryan as he did all the work on the car.

Believe me it's a very nice car indeed, the S models are worth the premium even over the Spec C's - just think of the S202 as being a Bugeye STi Spec C RA that has been improved even further.

Anyone who has owned one and I have owned two will know what I mean.

So by your logic a 22b must be worth virtually nothing?

It simply doesn't work like that,

Look at the old Ford Mexico's, escort cosworths, etc any rare car will demand a premium.

That's life,

I'd rather buy that knowing in a year it could be sold for the same, than buying a brand new car and losing 5k in its first year.

too true, and what new car can you get for 13k, a nice Fiesta Diesel? Living the dream!

The only negative which someone mentioned above and I agree with is that a lot of people are obsessed by mileage. Despite being around half the average, at 71k there's not massive headroom for putting a fair amount of miles on it without having a knock on effect to the value.

However as a second or third car on something like 3k a year you could still get plenty of fun from it and get your money back at least in three or so years time

No I saw it yesterday, in fact I think it's now been sold to someone else.

Shame really as it literally needs nothing to be done to it, it's literally had every serviceable item done on it including a new RCM oil pump, water pump, thermostat, spark plugs, all fluids, new Gates Racing timing belt with all the tensioners/rollers changed, new discs and PF pads all round.
