Mmm interesting. Depends on how good/un-molested/original this car is. If I was interested in acquiring potential future classics (which I'm not really) I'd do my research because this has potential to increase in value I'd say.

Looks like a fanzy mazda RX8, no I would not spend that amount on that car.

Possible future investment if preserved in its current state. But i dont buy cars to preserve them, they are meant for this! :driving:

Not if my life depended on it. The only thing that is ever going to make a car like that valuable is provenance. They have no racing history. Very few people of any note wasted Money on one. I seem to recall Rowan Atkinson tried one on long term test for Evo and got rid PDQ after bits started falling off.

Not for me, for £40K I'd have a GT3 :driving:

Looks like a Datsun Skyline on steroids :thumbsdown:

I remember when they came out there was a NOS option that took the car to near 800bhp (IIRC) - for the duration of the NOS tank, which would probably be 15 secs or less :rofl:

Not a chance - seem to remember it getting a total slating on Top Gear too. As above, if I have a huge garage and lots of cash to waste, possibly for curiosity / future classic status. But from where I am sitting with that kind of money I'd rather get me a second hand, fully loaded, atacama yellow e89 35is M Sport :evil:
