"Build" delay or "SVA" delay?...
SVA. I do know that it's sitting there fully built. When I heard about the delay my first cynical thought was the same as yours obviously!

Pugsey - mine is ready too! Am aiming to pick up on Saturday early afternoon! Look out for a mean looking R400 in Viper Blue with White Stripe. What colour's yours? Might see you there?!
Well done matey! Sadly it looks as if we'll miss each other - I'm probably going to struggle with Sat. and have to go on Mon. instead. Look out for mine - Mango with carbon nose band and wings - and don't get finger marks on it please! I'll keep my fingers crossed for the weather on Sat. for you. Enjoy!

Came across a copy of this article in my in-tray at work, a review in EVO some time back when I almost took the plunge in the R400 market.

Note the spec of the car at that time……

Cosworth engine
Roller barrels
Dry sump

Well? Is it good? How big is the grin factor? Is your licence still intact?
Tell all - I could use some cheerful news having blown my CSR engine at Spa...
Bad luck mate. Read my seperate topic for initial VERY early thoughts having only got the car this morning! Buggeration - now it's pouring!
