Hello

So, having recently sold my 718S Cayman I'm missing having a toy and have been looking at Elise's and Caterhams. Decent Elises seems to be lots of money and so I'm edging more towards a Caterham.

This would be a second car, purely a toy and predominantly used on the road. After the Porsche, looking for something with low running costs and without the worry of big bills. I'm not particularly handy with the spanners but I have a couple of friends who own repair garages so getting work done will not be an issue.

With all that said, could someone give me some thoughts on the below car. Looks like it's been in Jersey(?) which I think wouldn't really be a problem and perhaps means it has seen fewer salty roads? I know its an older car but it is a Sigma so should be reliable ish? SV cars seem to be in short supply at the moment ? (nothing on the Caterham site at all to speak of).

So, tell me to jump in or run a mile?
