Al unfortunately I can't make the 2nd Monday as I have a university presentation to complete down in Nottingham and no car to get back to Leeds... I'll try to make it to the next one though

However I can change the list as my missus will be coming along, so that is:

1. Mrs v15ben (aka Pippa!!)
2. Burriana
3. Killer2005

I'll try and make another, but I'll park in the correct car park this time, and not turn up 1 1/2 hours early!

[jagdpanther]

So you're the owner of the Veranti eh?

Never seen one prior to the meeting, whats the specifics of it??

Yep, that would be me! Its basically a similar concept to the F355 replicas that you see around, except its not trying to be anything. But Its a re-bodied MR2 thats had the roof chopped off. Mine is just N/A 2.0litre, but with a few tweaks to make it go and sound a little better. Its based on an import so its got all the options on as standard like air-con and power steering, better diff etc.

One of the best things is the insurance, as an import MR2 they wanted £1,800, but as a Veranti £520 (by the way, I am only 23 so thats better than the insurance ona fiesta).

One of the best things about it is that as far as I know, only 16 were ever built (still need to confirm that) so it makes it rarer than even Ferrari FXX.

You're more than welcome to have a good poke around it at the next meet.

I had a feeling it was based on an MR2, but wasnt too sure!!

Its a handsome looking machine for sure, completely different and lots more class over the MR2-355 varients

If you dont mind me asking, how much did it set you back??

[Jonty99]

I hate it when people ask me that! Ive jokingly said it costs £25,00 before to compete with an elise and they believed me. But I actually picked it up second hand after a lot (and I mean a lot) of haggling for £7. Not bad considering the 355 replicas (which I agree with your comments on those) go for anything between £12-18K.

The one I bought has been Factory built, and set the first owner back about £15K, and that was before it had the Stainless Mongoose sports exhaust system, which really does sound lovely. Not boy racer-ish, I dont like that sound.

You considering a buy? You'll have search for another one though, because it will be a long time until you can prize mine away from me. I'm considering doing the creama leather interior in it as they do on the 355 replicas, but thats for when I have saved some pennies again.

My apologies for asking what is probably the most obvious question based around ignorance to the marque

Im not looking at buying, I just like to accumulate knowledge about things and having never seen a Veranti before and now knowing the exact base, it was my next logical step to wonder how much it all costs as I know some of the rebody jobs out there can cost silly money, the F355 replicas being a perfect example of this.

I must admit, I do have a bit of a hankering for an MR2 at the moment, but funds wont allow it and Im uncertain as to whether I would be able to squeeze into the pilots seat

I'll have to have a listen at the meeting to see what you mean about the exhaust note...unless you have video footage handy

I'll try harder than last time, weather was too crap to leave the house. (What is everyone else driving, I'm in an Alfa 156).
