Hi,
Can you say a bit more about what has happened since the last dealer service in 2015? The listing suggests no servicing for 10 years? I can see from MOT history that the car was still in use for most of that time so curious about the apparent absence of any servicing for a decade?
Thanks, Ian

Hi, please can you confirm when the last major service was undertaken, including belt changes? Thanks

I suspect if the last major service was back in 2015 then the buyer should factor in a major service, including belt changes.

Can you provide receipts for the parts used for the self service in july this year and the balance of that service today cheers

Also useful would be the invoices or receipts backing up stamps in service book

Cheers

cheers for the earlier responses re servicing
roughly how many track days since youve had it and any ideas on previous track time
its very well specced for track so keen to see if its had any track-related mishaps resulting in material damage?
any history or leakdown / compression testing or had a borescope done?
cheers

The car and not been tracked me or the previous person who had it for 10 years never tracked it, he bought it to tour Italy and the Alps, then as you can see from the miles, it's not really don't much from when he had it. The car is mint and has just had a full health check. I've sold 60 cars over the last 20 years and never had to do a bore scope check. Especially on a bullet proof 1.8 Toyota engine, however that being said, I'll see what I can do. The car has had the front resprayed by me as it had stone chips. There is no damage on it at all.

I can only say good things about the vendor and the car
coming from a 997.1 gt3 cs i have (somewhat reluctantly) opted for a boring german car rather than this lovely exige
but whoever is the lucky next custodian will be a very happy bunny indeed
i travelled from london to chester and it was well worth it - best one out there and what a stunning drive it is with provenance to boot

When going out to buy a sports car i can honestly say i have never ended up in a boring car instead. I don't know how this could happen. I really thought RC1 was going to buy with his requests as well. Only commenting as i have found this behaviour common when i have sold previous sports cars.

This Exige looks stunning and if i still lived in the UK i would be very interested.

RC1 leave them on I would say. Question - if I bought it blind, would I be disappointed with anything when it arrived?

Very quick But I could feel how it went round corners and how it sounded! joking apart, the last few cars I have bought unseen from Car and classic and so far never disappointed. Your pics look great and I like the description so I am guessing it is anther great car which would not disappoint. Am I correct?
I have recently sold my Caterham 7 that I had for 10 years (back to the guy I bought it from) and I have a hole in my garage and an urge for another track car.
