Superlight R - engine maintenance costs

[Esceptico]

Anyone with experience of running a Superlight R? What are the maintenance costs like? I recall reading that the engine needs frequent work because of the power extracted.

Is a dry sump a nice to have or almost must have option for a SLR?

I'm tempted by one of the SLRs on the market. Seems to have a good spec and in my fav colour (I know that shouldn't play such a big role) but doesn't have DS.

I would probably do a couple of track days a year but other than that would be road use. Last fun car (early 911) I did about 5000 in the year I had it.

The SLRs I've seen advertised are quite a bit more than £16-£18k (£23k). I've seen SLs in that range. Dealers trying to extract the Michael? I've had lots of 911s so a bit comfortable about sportting a good or bad one but I've got no knowledge of Caterhams (even though they have been on my "got to own at some point" list for over 20 years!

Called dealer about SLR I was interest in...gone. Other SLR they had.
Gone! Seems Spring has arrived early...
