Spunagains Royal blue 05, can't wait, I wanted it before he'd even started it up! Guessing it's the easiest sale he's ever had!
Looked at it yesterday after getting stuck on the M25, Maidstone to Newbury in over 4hrs!
He couldn't have been more accommodating, v.happy to buy from a member and not a dealer
thats a great looking car - well done

Given the famous Spunagain website, you would expect it to have very little wrong with it!
Does that mean you're now also responsible for updating the website?

Hi Will
Your new car looks fab (spunagain profile picture). Real understated in dark blue. Very cool.
I didn't see this car advertised so maybe I'm missing someting and not looking in the right places ? Not sure if it's bad form on here to talk about numbers but, if not, could you please give an indication of the price you paid and any mods included (and mileage) ? I understand that Spunagain is a 260 guru and will have done all necessary upgrades etc so that's got to be worth a premium I would think to buy from someone with such a reputation.
Just noticed a really lovely looking bright red one (BX55 UZK) on Pistonheads. Just 26k miles and was asking £6,995. Now sold.
So, in answer to my original question, it appears there are nice ones out there if you're prepared to wait and know where to look (I'll get there eventually !)
Enjoy your new car....

I don't think spunagain's car was advertised. Will made a post about wanting an Ignition or Royal Blue car and spunagain got in touch with him. Same happened to me - I mentioned I was looking for a red car and an owner of a red car got in touch with me. Matching a buyer & seller via this forum can obviously be to both parties benefit. Much better than the "unknown" ones on Pistonheads / Autotrader (the main places to look, although ebay also has an occasional one).
I went to see this car and although it was a very tidy example, it was a non-SE (which is missing a lot of nice toys if you like that sort of thing), didn't have all the standard mods and needed a major service. I decided to leave it, but if you hadn't been wanting an SE model (some see the SE kit as unnecessary weight ), it would have been a great buy.
There are 3 new ones which have recently appeared on autotrader, but they all appear to be non-SE and as such are all around £1-1.5K too expensive IMHO (based on recent sales like the red one you mention). They make pessling's SE with all the mods look like the bargain of the year :-)
Good hunting and try making a clear statement of what you're looking for and maybe you'll entice an owner to sell up.
