This sounds like a serious attempt at a sale, Simon. End of an era.

Sorry to see this Simon. Hope you stay with the brand whilst enjoying the Macca?

[SimonE]

Cheers chaps - yep if someone comes up with the right offer it will def be going - not using it at all at the mo and the old body is getting less compliant with age. scratched the mac itch and next car will def be a Lotus again

Oh wow. Good to hear Simon. McLaren has a big bath outside the technology centre, is that where you will be taking the 570?

Good luck with the sale Simon.

I was same place last year as just wasn't using mine.

Now in same place with 250 Cup and find the Evora a lot easier to live with.

Thanks all.

Will be taking some pics this week and placing ad on PH end of the week.

Surreal times.

I'm constantly attracted to the S1 Exige.

However, realistically, I keep reading the 'lack of use' comments, and wonder if I'd be the same. I love my V6, but I'm struggling to use that much.

I wouldn't really want to sell the V6, so an S1 would probably be additional.

These days, I just don't go anywhere!
