There was a nice little article in Motor Sport a couple of months ago on said man and car.

And chain driven.....!?

Gulp.

This has the four-thirty horsepower LS3. (The car, not the trailer before some bright spark says it!)

Yes please.

Whoever signed off those exhaust tips should be shot.

Whoever signed off the whole car should be shot. Interceptors are horribly ugly things.

Aaaaaaaarrrrrrgh! Hide my wallet, quickly.



Thank goodness it's not an original Sprint or I'd be looking for additional storage ...

Threadists: Xmas beers at Belgo on Kingsway on Thursday 4th Dec. Be there, or not.

I should be able to pop along for an hour or two, probably from about 6.30 if you're there?

Looks alright doesn't it

Looks lovely - but I must be a bit out of touch - I thought they were still a £20k car...

Normal ones are, but that looks like a nice example and has the matty tax

I think Socks is also a little out of touch: there are currently no S3 or S4s in the classifieds (whether Sprints or not) for less than about £30K.

Was going on the unsold one at silverstone auctions. had an estimate of c.£20kish iirc?

£20K-£25K estimate, and who knows what reserve was set at for it to remain unsold.

The Sprint though went at £40.5K

[rejn]

on another topic completely, is this a safe place to mention that I actually do quite like that 964 video that's doing the rounds at the moment…

[rejn]

back on topic, though - I've had 5 mins to look around

this genuine sprint for £30k looks good



and this looks like a good place to stick £20k in anticipation of a bit of summer fun!

No, no it's not*.

The Thread hit squad is on it's way to your office as I type, ready to drag you screaming and kicking to the torture cellar where you will be repeatedly subjected to recordings of GP eulogising about red branding on tyre sidewalls and Socks explaining in detail how to fit yellow headlight covers.

*Please tell me you at least watched it without any sound.

work obviously needed on "things to keep to myself" versus "things to mention on an internet forum"….

I still like it though!!

You mean £32K.

Loses points for non-genuine Lotus replacement chassis. Otherwise looks like a nice example.

yes - a bit of rounding to make my point (the £20k is £22k really, too!!!)
