Anyone know this car? I'm thinking about a blind bid but would like some confidence from the owners club.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
It seems to have a bit of corrosion underneath. How annoying is it in terms of getting new parts?

My advice is not to buy blind. I would venture that you need to check out under the car with an experienced 1st generation owner.
It was sold in 2017 by Tim, the owner of RX motors in Wiltshire. He is a decent guy and might have some info?

Why is the feedback only (1)?
Can't tag this car as no Reg and no previous in that area.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
I'm trying to find a photo. I know I have one from Brooklands a few years back. My photobucket linked images don't work anymore which is annoying!
