I used to own the second one, some years ago. ( 1 of the 8 !) It was a good car when I had it but would not entertain paying over £20k for it now, as the 9th or 10th owner ! It may not affect the car but it certainly affects resale price.
The prices over the last few months seem to be now on a sharp drop, after a reasonable summer, so my advice is to leave it a couple of months a save yourself some money.

Thanks all for the advice! After a lengthy and very enlightening conversation with Craig last night, which I am eternally grateful for, I have decided not to entertain the 2 options I originally opted for.

With a low budget such as mine (around the 23k mark) it looks like a decent CSL is probably just out of my budget for the meantime... so will either have to wait until they hopefully drop a bit (well, hopefully for me, not for all you guys!

) or go with the other option of TVR T350 or Exige S.

Thanks for all the input fellas!
