Does this belong to anyone on here?

The mileage might be a bit high for some (56k) but how I wish that I could swap my V8V for this one. smile

I'd trade into that if it wasnt for the colour and had a few less miles.

Been for sale for about 3-4 weeks and the price I do believe has come down since original advert.

If it was Tungsten / Onyx / Meteorite I would have been tempted to buy it.

I saw a car for sale that had been serviced by BR recently (roadster) incl new clutch / flywheel - maybe thats had the upgraded items.

Still the OP car is a nice one! I think the smart move with "modded" cars is to price the same as a normal one (given that cars usually come with a clutch / exhaust) - e.g. it's a bit strong still - but at @£34k it would be good value? My car is on 42k /07 MY and I wouldn't expect to get more than £35k on a warm, sunny day.

Hi,

I haven't been on the forum for a while, so sorry to resurrect this thread from nearly a month ago.

It is my car that is for sale. I would very much prefer to keep it, but I will shortly be moving to a house with no garage, and it is in such good condition that I can't bear to keep it outside on the street in London.

Since I bought it with 4,500 miles on the clock, I have used it almost every day. My commute about 70 miles a day from North London up the M1 so this is why the mileage is higer than some others, but it has mostly been clocked up on the motorway, and the clutch has already been replaced by the BR lightweight twin plate sintered clutch and flywheel.

I have just recently had it serviced by BR and I haven't driven more than 1k since then because I want to sell it as recently serviced, however it makes me a bit sad not driving it and walking past it day after day in the garage!

Any takers? ;-)

cheers,
Oli.
