Anyone know the history of this car? OK, the advert pretty much tells you all about it and I know it featured on that Police video.
I think it's stunning but not sure if it was a CATD when Geary got hold of it. Yeah, I know...contact the owner but don't want to approach him yet to build his hopes up of a sale.
Why's it not sold yet???

Dunno about pre-Geary, but it's changed hands as often as it's changed engines! I think the looks are an aquired taste (I think it's fcuking hideous) and it's currently running with a standard VVC engine for reliability's sake.
Loads of go-faster goodies though, just too hacked about looking for my (and I suppose many other people's) tastes.

Hideous? Surely not...it looks like its got the motorsport/exige shell on it and im sure everyone considers exiges to look great no?

Ah so - motorsport shell, yes. That equals very shady panel gaps and rear arches too big for the wheels on it, in my book. Better with an actual Exige shell, they are not the same!
If you see one of the Motorsport cars close up, it's a bit of a dogs dinner....

I agree with Shug about just buy a Exige, which I would rather do but I do reckon B10WN K will be pretty sorted. Geary couldn't afforded it to look rough as an reflection to his company.

Aye, could have a very valid point there... Just not sure how the fully opening rear clam shutline would sit... Plus, an Exigey shell should sit on 16/17" wheels - the big rim/rubber band thing just flat doesn't suit any elise derivative IMHO.
Still, hardly one for spotless cars, am I?!
