C577 EKP. Spent most of it\'s life in a heated garage in Scotland. Turned up at the Spring Rotorshow earlier this year. You will struggle to find a better one that hasn\'t been messed with.  Seller wants silly money... it\'s a brave man who spends more than 2.5K on an FB these days IMO.  There have been some nice cars sold recently at under 2K.

That\'s probably what it\'s worth. Elfords don\'t pop up every day and it\'s esentially a new car. You\'d want to keep it garaged though.

C713 CKL.
Haven\'t seen that one for a while, not since 2009. I noted it then as a nice looking car.
Where have you seen it for sale Mick?

Really sorry Clive, I think he was called Dan, maybe Calver or something similar? I\'m scraping the barrel of my memory really so could be totally wrong. Sorry I can\'t be more help.

Will try and catch up Mick. Are you about this weekend?  Would quite like to see your new toy.
Mine needs an outing anyway, haven\'t driven it for the last 3 weeks since I fitted a crap exhaust system and now it sounds like a rotary tank (only my opinion here as I\'ve never actually heard a rotary tank running).
