It's a year 1 version! Not a big fan of the styling tbh but the overall design/spec was quite something. Not a bad investment at <£90k (but I'll pass on the knickers offer ta!).

I've always found the stock NSX shape the most pleasing, those versions look a bit busy for my tastes.

7/10!

If Iccy wants to get my knickers in a twist he'll need a Type R, one of my favouritist cars ever.

Things like Austin Healy 3000's are looking as good as ever though the markets a bit flakey they used to fetch 64 K all day long about thats only now for concourse stuff Ive seen one very nice 3000Mk 2 been restored a while 64 K is the starting point for a conversation in todays market..... so less.Image IMO buy one if you really want the car not because it "might" wipe its face if you sold it. I"d buy this if I had the disposable but, I haven't, so wont. had nice stuff but all mondao money.

old disco's virtually worthlless least mine was. i went for a test drive in a caterham. Without doubt the most uncomfortable mode of transport ive ever tried. the driving position and clutch that only a power lifter can depress I didnt even take it out of the garage, I knew I couldn't live with it. Sure bet, it handled like a thing on rails, but rather get the bus.

My lad has been having a look and he's not so keen on the Porker or the F355, but he is very keen on an Aston, he found this earlier when we were discussing it and I think it's lovely, same sort of price range as a Porsche 930 although it's probably going to depreciate like a falling breeze block.

I'm not sure what hole you want this to fill, how is it better than the Caterham?
The others were classics, I prefer Astons but I wouldn't have* one like this.

It's not to my taste, but if you like it, get it, Stratton have been there a long time which indicates they're alright, Big Yin may know more as he's friendly with Seastar who are close by.

That looks very, very nice.

I'd still go for a Lexus LC500 or NSX (new shape). Partly because I think they wouldn't cost that much to run or depreciate hugely. But I am a tight auld scrottager with an old Prius and an old Transit.

I was going to suggest one of these, but I don't like the wheels...

I rather like that, academic as it is.

Also really want to see it with the doors open, see what moves and what stays where.

All 50 also already sold.

Love it, but like all these new Morgans it has the BMW gearstick and steering wheel that sticks out like a hand in a bucket of tits.

I did think the Beemer gearchange was a bit jarring, They've obviously recovered the steering wheel, but you think they'd have colour matched it to the seats.

Why do you think I posted it :)

You've got to feel for those pauper Maserati owners too.
