    Default SARRXGLGB2D0000003 for Sale

    I spoke today to a trader down in Cullompton, Devon, who has SARRXGLGB2D0000003 for sale. It's a red saloon which was registered in 2002 but not sold by the factory until late 2005 (presumably by the receivers, PWC). It's a prototype with non-standard suspension, brakes (AP) and exhaust. The vendor tells me the engine is a bit special and goes like s**t off the proverbial. It's a Mk1 SE model with all the usual interior extras such as sat nav, TV, leather/alcatara etc. There appears to be one or two prototype trim parts and it has 12,500 miles on the clock. It was also "tested" by Mr Clarkson and his hooligans on Top Gear as well as being the 2002 UK Motor Show car. If anyone is interested then please call Wayne Richards on 07846 885654.....he's looking for something around £13,000.

    Best, Colin

    (Of course all of the above is as told to me by the Vendor, and I have no idea of the accuracy)

    If MGR hadn't failed, these development cars would have been sent to the crusher after their useful life with the company. It should now be broken down for parts.

    Is there a great variance in the clutch?

    I'm a 'big boy' (read fat Bstd.) but I really dont even notice the clutch at all?
