stoneleigh car sale

Unfortunately i didn't go to Stoneleigh this year. I'm assuming there were a number of cars for sale? Anyone get any pics or remember any decent cars for sale. Really struggling to find a car to buy.

Went over today, didn't take the MK as didn't look too clever in weather. The sales section wasn't so great there was this; http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=291446900960 MNR Vortx it's a BEC. Looked quite smart however if I'm brutally honest pictures do it justice unfortunately but that was it! There were however a few owners cars in the groups section that looked very nice, there was a tiger going for £5500 and looked an absolute steal! Father in law was very tempted by it! Was running a BEC Can't remember what engine though!

Bloody hell good work

Would love the mnr but haven't got 15k to spend. I'm looking around 9k so the tiger fits well in the budget. A certain Mr bates put me off tigers years ago telling me they were the worst designed 7 style cars

Thanks for the reply

I don't think it would be fair for me to say anymore about the MNR..

9k is still a good budget, there's a few MK's on eBay at the moment that are in budget that look good, have u seen them?

I've been tracking all sites religiously but nothing is floating my boat. You might have seen from previous posts that I really want a late r1 engine car but they're literally non existent. I've owned 3 bec's now and I'm now becoming very picky as to what I want

Mate I have seen this and even approached the seller to find its running a very early r1 engine. I'm trying to locate a post 2009 lump, the big bang crossplane crank version. As I said earlier though I've never seen one for sale. I am also contemplating a CEC but went to see a mk indy St 170 and it was dog poo which put me off a bit. Something turbo'd would defo grab my attention

Don't hold me to this but im sure we've had this convo before. Is it blue and carrying a 1000rr engine?

If it is the one it sounds a superb piece of kit for the dosh but a fury really isn't my cup of tea (hope i haven't offended). Good luck selling. In fact I'm well surprised it hasn't sold already

If that quote is meant to have come from Andy bates of AB Performance, I would be surprised.
Andy is normally more generous with his views of the opposition, no matter how distant.

Having owned several and driven even more kits, by far the worst was a Robin Hood S7.
it had the torsional rigidity of soup.

Let's clear this up. I phoned him up probably around 5 years ago just before I bought my first kit car, trying to get advice on bec's. I gave him some variants of cars that I liked which included mk, Mac, raw, mnr and tiger and out of those suggestions he warned me off tigers telling me they were the worst of that bunch. There's obviously loads of other manufacturers i didn't mention but he said something of that nature. Can't remember word for word as it was around 5 years ago.

I sold my Caterham Roadsport 120 yesterday - no sooner did I put a for sale sign in the window a bloke was there straight away. He came and collected it today and drove it back from TOWIE to Tamworth.
I had 3 other people text me (kinda makes me think it was too cheap) but hey... roll on a new toy !!

true, but if your not happy with the cars after a short time (as you've shown with the length of time u keep them)you would be better building to your spec/quality and perhaps then you would be happy!!!

If you're set on a flat plane R1 I think you're going to have to either build your own or do an engine swap. There are very few cars with that motor. I've only seen one and that was in a YouTube video. Never seen one in the flesh or hearn of any others. Certainly not enough about that you can be choosey.

I only have a 9k budget and basically think that I can't buy or build the car I want so might have to compromise on the engine. Unless somebody cam tell me a genius way of building or engine swapping an r1 big bang for less than 9k?
