Tut, your the only person I know, who could drive this car quicker than most people drive RHD models.

Yep - spotted that one yesterday too. Looked too good to be true.
I think the key point in the advert is 'for export outside the EU' Otherwise VAT will apply.

Still seems cheap at 36k. Aren't these 50k plus new?

You soon get used to LHD, just have to be more careful when overtaking. However even after five years I am still inclined to be further over to the right than I am in a RHD car, hence the consumption of door mirrors.

That car is virtually new, but it seems low spec. With VAT extra at £36K, a late S would be on for £40K or less and I would want that rather than a N/A. However with the amount of day to day driving that I do, I could not justify it, and of course the roof does not come off.

Don't think that I could improve on N3 for what I want, and now that I am not doing Euro trips and fewer trackdays, the reliability has been better. However I am doing more road runs now, also with other Groups when there is not an S/E one going on.
