So quote a few models, early S to sport 350 and higher BHP.

Thoughts on these early S cars (I have a thing for low
Mileage).

What’s a club racer spec?

A Club Racer is a somewhat lightened V6S.

Not sure but the weight saving should be minimal, so it's mostly optics (blacked out bits) and alcantara seats where the V6S would have leather (though there might be the rare poverty spec cloth seat example in between).

Club Racer is the model between S and 350 sport ie. doesn’t have the fancy open gear shift.

The other two are roadsters which generally are worth and loved less than coupes. Their top speed is allegedly limited to around 140mph due to the soft top blowing off.

The orange one was for sale privately for £41500 a couple of weeks ago so the dealer is looking for a healthy profit…..does look a really clean example though.

... and between a V6S and a Sport 350 it's the latter you'd want, each day, any day wink

With the phase 2 version of the Sport 350 ie with the new front clamshell, I believe it was 51 kg lighter, so now similar weight to the Cup.version.

I think they did some jiggery pokery with the weights they are literally the same car. The rear deck might lose 5/6kg but the rest of the car is literally the same as the old cars.
