Depending who you speak to there were between 50-85 RHD RT400's built.

They are a great car, I bought and sold quite a few of them.

Common fault is broken front springs.

What colour and spec is yours?

Heated seat - check relay? Check it's not been disconnected under the seat (maybe someone removed the seat and forgot to re-connect.)

[dunsley]

ty matt swapped relay with other seat which was working no joy could it be switch how do you access it ty

[ecurie]

Check the hose (UR20949).
After a while they can start weeping a bit.

Hi Dunsley, as I understand it the R400 was a very limited special edition, only 6 being built. 3 were for the uk and three went to the states. They had uprated brakes and suspension and various bespoke elements. Of the three in the uk, one was red, one green and one blue. Which do you have and have you found out any more about them?

I have the blue one peacock blue would any one know what sort of value it’s worth 75k miles with some history cheers roy
