Just bought an R500. Yr 2000 6500 miles. It is as new, had one owner, absolutely every extra known to man and never been tracked (I know this for a fact).
I intend to use it for UK track days plus trips to Spa and the 'Ring. My question is, is there anything I should get done before using in anger. I'm thinking specifically of the engine as I had heard that it needs a refresh pretty frequently - I'd rather spend a fair amount of money now than a mind boggling amount if it explodes going through Eau Rouge!. Also any advice on who could look after the car for me - Camberley/Basingstoke area. Thoughts and advice appreciated.

Thanks for info. and advice guys. All much as I thought - including Minister's mildly comic prices!
