I've set a reserve of £20k, because that's how big my tax bill is It's actually worth a lot more than that, but unfortunately, it has to go.

The plan is to build another one in a year or so. Or maybe something else.

If you're the p[erson who has bid £6,100, then you'll need to add a little bit to it

I've known the car since James bought it. Considering what it's cost him for the various upgrades, it's a serious bit of kit for the money.

I reckon he's spent more than 3 times the current bid in upgrades alone!

I wish I had the money and i'd buy it in a second... But then it's currently well above all my worldly savings Plus I'm debt (Student).

Nice, very nice car tho!

Will it go over speed bumps mate? The council round here are building "blockades" at every exit. The novelty of racing up and down the cul de sac would soon wear off as would wiping squashed cats off the wind screen.

Also, I presume it doesn't have aircon?

It can ride has high or low as you like, as the suspension is fully adjustable. When I bought it, it was set up for the road. I used it on the road for a while, until I decided to race it. I didn't have any trouble with speed humps, as it was set to normal road ride height.

You're right. It doesn't have aircon. However, I spent a lot of time sorting out the ventilation, since it was initially getting rather warm racing 100 miles at full speed. Therefore, if you're tooling around the roads in it, you should be ok. What I always do if I am stopped for any length of time is just open the door. It opens upwards, so you don't need to worry about it being taken off by a passing car.

It's by no means a "practical" car, but then that isn't what an Ultima is all about anyway

Cheers

Sure. I never discount anything.

Do you want to PX your Elise?

I tried to contact you via your profile, but the email bounced. Send me a mail via mine and we can talk about it.
