A mate of mine had one, it used to piss water in at a hilarious rate, like a badly built kit car. Unbelievalble, he basically gave it away in the end.

:( It's a shame they didn't make a fixed roof version like the normal Smart. Heck, it could have had an optional fixed glass roof to keep the airy feeling while minimising warranty claims :roll: A basic tin top on steel wheels would probably be top dollar now.

Like I said, details; I don't want to see his other cars or house in the ad pics yet there they are as a distraction from the item for sale.

Been looking at R8's recently.

What more could you want than a broken one sold by "Big Tommy" that was also previously owned by The Hoff himself?

That, to me, is the way Caterham should’ve gone. Imagine that body on Mito’s 620 and it would be the perfect weekend toy for the UK imho

Solid investment. "Worth £50k+" on Autotrader. You should buy it! It is exactly like the Evoras you've been looking at, but not.

@integrale_evo - I believe this has your name all over it.

I considered it, but setting it all up properly is way more faff than I fancy atm.

I am die-hard manuel box fan wrt performance cars, but not big SUVs. I would not have chosen manuel for either of our Discos.

Disco3 was available as a manuel as standard wasn't it? Presumably chosen by few so not offered in the 4. I wonder if that one was a pre-prod or something?
