Is there any reason why one should not buy an early car?

Other than the obvious .5 litre displacemet difference and the front lights, ECU, gearbox ( depending on the 3.0 type ) and the LSD.

The car will not be a track car, maybe the odd day.

Are the 2.5 upgradable, or is one better served by the 3.0?

Cheers,

AR

the 2.5 has a few less horses - but is a better free revving engine

the choice is up to you really

If your going for a 2.5 then make sure you have had the ecu upgraded, all 5 speed boxes should have also had the diff upgraded as the ford unit is a little bit delicate(whether it be a 3 or a 2.5).

If your intrested my 2.5 is forsale and I'm just down the road from you!! I'd be happy to take you out for a run!!

Many thanks for the offer Lloyd, you car sounds superb, but when I sold my Brooklands Green NSX-R I promised that I would look for a different colour car, as both our Amazons are green as well, so I am trying to stay away from green. ( If I can )

Cheers,
