How much.....

Wise thoughts indeed, mac, and excellent advice from Kevin

Space shouldn't be an issue, I'm hardly what you could call sylph-like and fit quite snugly into the standard (S3) chassis in the Snot

Give tilletts a chance - they are very comfy indeed - Zeebrugge to Le Mans this summer in the pi$hin' rain with the mother of all hangovers brought no issues to me pain-wise

http://www.blatchat.com or some of the caterham racing / graduates sites have RSA & other ex-racers for sale, plus you need to get onto http://www.scottishsevens.co.uk

Also, I'm kinda mulling over the prospect of a nice Elise (S1, nowt too lairy) and Mandy's car may well just fit the bill.......

.....but we're currently looking at moving house and I suspect SWMBO wouldn't wear it unless we have moved and know where we are financially

Neil, I'm size 10Â½ and have no probs with this - Puma Speedcats or the like see to that

I appreciate an Elise has heaps of room due to the alu tub, and a 7 seems tighter than a camel's ass in a sandstorm in comparison, but you kinda get used to it, I still have sufficient room to H&T

By the same token, the tightness of a 7 is part of its appeal and ethos (I liken it to "wearing" the car

) - I've paxed in a couple of SVs and generally disliked the loose feeling they give me, even tho I'm a fat bandito

but fully understand extremely tall and/or ahem, wide folks going this way

As you're aware, the RST-V8 uses the SV chassis, purely for ease of fitment, although this engine has now been fitted to a narrow chassis (goes for a lie down and a cool off with a damp flannel)

Have to say - just sitting in the car I felt much more apart of it than I do in the elise - and I normally feel well connected to the elise.

Goes without saying that if anyone want to have a better look at Mandy's car then just drop me a PM and I'll happily go meet.

Going to give it a wash & polish at stick it on Pistonheads for 9.5k and see how it goes.

That's providing no one on here wants it first (sure I could come and go with the price a little)

Well it's on Pistonheads for 9.5k, but is still available for SE'rs at a reduced price. Personally I'd like to see it kept within the group as it is a cracking wee car with a known history.

If anyone is interested PM me and we'll see if we can come up with a deal.

Mac - just saw your advert. CAn I suggest sticking the car's mileage up there?

Cheers,

Greg

Is it not there?

It did ask me for it so assumed it stuck in there somewhere.

Cheers for the heads up - anything else I should add?

clicky for ad

yeah mileage is a defo,

service history, number of owners, how many mm on tyres, reason for sale and perhaps a few more photos etc
