I wish! Standard Type R, tarted up, but was reduced to £21,995

I think the main one is a limited slip diff, plus some bodywork addons, but I might be wrong.

Spot on sir.

One thing I did notice in the brochure was that all Type Rs' from April 10 build have a LSD as standard!

Gorgeous car mate! I was stuck behind one of these on the motorway the otherday, the exhausts in the bumper and rear diffuser just look the dogs bcks .... Enjoy !

Possibly one of the best four-pot engines ever made.

Good choice.

Love it

PS - noticed in your profile you used to own an old one. i'd be interested in your thoughts about the handling differences in the two? Only I love the look of the new one but can't get that TG review out of my head where they gave it a bit of a beating?

Were you at the BTCC atknockhill? Saw one of these parked up near the hairpin. Looked brilliant.

Then saw a real one further away! Common as muck

very cool!

Sorry not me. It is years since I have been to Knockhill, I used attend a load of bike meetings, you may just have planted a seed Bugger!

I remember seeing this. To be honest, in my opinion it is the usual media nonsense, new model is 0.00125 secs slower than old etc etc. Being a bit older I tend not to bother. The new model is far more "user friendly", vtec less "harsh" although no doubt that distracts for some, but ultimately for me a far more relaxing, and easier car to drive at at decent pace. (and a FAR better looking car)

I will never make a Media Journalist going by that up there ^^^^

Sorry, not me, I was in Telford, and not home till Friday. Saying that I believe that there is another one in Ayr somewhere, sold by the same Dealer, did it have a private plate? (I do not have mine transferred yet)
