I`ve just picked up the latest, (March), edition of EVO magazine and there`s a bit on the M12 in a section on "cars you can run for free". I guess it`s `Jay964RS`s` car that shown, although it looks like an M400. The only glitch in the text is the need for a dry sump set up for track days - I think they mean the baffled `track day sump`. (Maybe people have dry sumped them for racing?).
They quote typical values as £25 - £32K with cars being mileage sensitive and say prices have gone up over the last 6 months and by implication are headed higher if they are going to cover typical running costs over the next year. I`m not sure I`d call the car a `twin turbo Exige` but I guess that`s one way of describing it. Anyway the car is an `EVO choice` in it`s price group.

Just one page - and two thirds of that was a photo - but it`s same for the other cars in the article. Basically: `what is it`, `why should it retain it`s value`, `what the trade says`, `I own one`, and `owners tip`.

Hi all,
It was my comments, however I think there was a typing error with trackday sump and dry sump.
It's not my car in the photo, pics were taken of my car yesterday at rockingham for a buyers guide for a future issue.
I got a lot of positive feedback from the EVO journalist who remembers and tested the original M12 in 2000 (he thinks the reg was m12 gto)
It's all good
