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.

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?

I remember this car but from years ago, it came to Le Mans trip in 1998 I think. Was in good nick back then but it was a long time ago.
