Seriously Considering a Scim
Discussion
Further to a thread in the Classic Cars section I am seriously considering a Scimitar. Ideally SE5/a manual with Overdrive.
I'm not in a rush, so can afford to be picky but would be interested in hearing from owners about what they're like to live with.
This will be predominantly a "high-days and holidays" car. Blasts at the weekend and the occasional long runs to see family, possible touring holidays with a tent, etc.
How do they stack-up in the long term?

Excellent - thank you!
I have just joined the ScimitarWeb thingy and will be spending endless hours trawling the info no doubt.
To be honest, top-end speed is largely irrelevant as unless you are a Track Warrior, you're never going to get anywhere near it! This will be about fun blasts in the countryside and the occasional family tour with a tent.
Are there any worthwhile suspension / wheel upgrades that improve the handling noticeably? I see that some like to fit 15-inch wheels with corresponding lower-profile rubber and Gaz suspension parts but do they noticeably improve the handling? Is it worth going down the PolyBush route, or would that make the car too "crashy" on bad roads?
So many questions...
