It looks to be very problematic. The Model S has better performance with Ludicrous speed.
There's also apparently going to be a replacement model in 2019.
It really depends what you want from it, and what your budget is.

the S and roadster are totally different cars, i want it to keep as a weekend car. Budget it the market price for one,

How long have you been looking? You missed a cracker of an opportunity back last year...

I was involved in the sale and the result was hugely disappointing. The auction was very badly run, to such an extent that I've noticed they have taken details of the auction off their own website.

Looks like it was bought by a UK buyer as is showing as taxed.

I sometimes think of selling my classic to fund a Roadster purchase. The last time I looked there were 3 on PH at the £50k mark but there are non currently. I think they have classic potential, but maybe people have already cottoned onto this.

Great news, happy to help

[dickyf]

It's absolutely fantastic. They really should make a new one!
What's the long term view? Will they be considered a classic I wonder.

James Cooke did a review-ish video on it a few months ago.

100% a future classic. IMO.
