i like the silver too, it's a lovely looking car but seems like a lot of money to me for what it is, unless you are paying for exclusivity. i do personally think the s is much prettier than the chimaera but not 4k or 5k prettier! so apart from being prettier and rarer is there anything the s can do that the chim can't?

Perhaps you can compare it to a TR5 and 6, pretty much the same car (performance wise when comparing V8s and Chim 400) but the rarity and styling of the 5 makes them more desirable.....to be honest V8s's and indeed all S's get under your skin, I am lucky enough to also have a Griffith 500 as well and the thought of parting with my S makes me feel sick. 11 years ago I sold my S2 and could have bought a Griff then or a Tuscan but opted for the best V8s I could find and I don't regret It one bit.

Do you mean "..is there anything a Chim can do that an 'S' can't?"

We'll, yes there is. That's drive around with the roof on when the sun is shining laugh

If someone was happy to pay £13,650 including premium at Anglia Car Auctions on the 23rd of last month,for a car that was not in good condition, Then this one will easily make it's estimate, if not more!!

I saw a silver one advertised by a garage last year at £14995, it could well be this one

Go on Stewart - you know it makes sense. Better performing investment than the stock market, realise a dream, smiles per mile etc !

Loads of reasons to indulge yourself. bounce

I'm sorry, I don't understand the significance of this response. Is golf important enough to influence one's choice of car? I don't follow.. laugh
