  1. Past hour
  2. Plunging used electric car prices costing fleet businesses 'hundreds of millions' | This is Money I'd heard depreciation horror stories but up to 80% depreciation... wow. You might as well throw your money down the toilet.
  3. Today
  4. £60,000 the profit margin is 5-8k per car depending on discount....for a car that does 3.4 seconds to 60. Beats the preface lift F type on quarter mile (11.4). Beats many supercars, keeps up with 812 Superfast for 400 meters as seen on youtube is not a bad price. Yeah you could pick up any of the others. But it takes some bravery to bring a car like this to the market when no one has bothered. The only thing that can compare the MX5 is its a roadster. Aside from that theyre not comparable as the target different markets. Theres a reason people choose SL AMG, Z4, F Type Roadster as opposed to the MX5. Theyre looking for a GT experience not a small sports car experience. Also the cars two times the size of an MX5 and quite wide. A case of each to their own with the Cyberster. Its sold over 3000 just hasn't sold many in China just above 1000 cars for various reasons including practicality. Thats why theyll bring the 4 seater coupe to market at the end of the year. At least they tried on a section of the market thats 28%. It was always a tough sell. In China there are other cars that sell more than MG. MG sales are mostly international markets Running costs are low on certain pre 25 plates. £190 tax £999 insurance. 4 pound a charge with a home charger cheaper with Solar. UK is probably the only market that didnt offer lifetime warranty. Thailand, China did Australia offered 10 years warranty possibly due to expected low sales. Also Thailand is a third party running the show there. Car cost 60k there too and it still sold more than UK. Its got people talking which was the aim of the designer. They needed a Halo car and it will probably be end of life within a few years.
  5. After about 2 and a half years of owning the Zed it's time to sell as don't need two cars currently. The car has been very well looked after and drives perfect with very low miles considering the age. I would much prefer to sell to a fellow enthusiast hence posting on her first.

  6. Tank back in which has covered almost all my hard work! Also doing some science to see if I can clean up some rusty bits.
  7. The MX5 is far the better roadster in very way, and at £60k the Cybster doesn't make any sense as a luxury tourer considering you could pick up an open top low milage Porsche, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Bentley, Mercedes for less.
  8. Yesterday
  9. Sorry just saw this. No im over in NE london/Essex area
  10. Seen lots of track videos from China and US when it was tested there. Not too many complaints. It does suffer from understeer due to weight. But so would an SL AMG or F Type Convertible. Both weigh over 1700kg...the latest iteration of AMG GT is around 2100kg.... Cybersters been praised by many media agencies. Its a GT not a sports car or an MX5 as people have compared it to. It is what it is. Still waiting for the competition to show up something better. The Cyberster was tuned amd partly developed by a former Ferrari Engineer (Marco Fainello) I suppose they did what they could with the 1885 and 1985kg weights it carries due to the batteries. Advantage being a stiffer chassis and better weight distribution (Skateboard setup). Whereas Porsche are going for a box battery behind the driver where the engine used to be. Lets see what the competition drums up if theres any within the next 2 years. Porsche Boxster EV may be delayed as the battery suppliers gone bust. Tough market lol...Couldn't be me.
  11. Little picture yesterday after a drive out and it's wash today. The wait for the new wheels is driving me potty
  12. Wow, that looks fun for an all wheel drive. Biased Haldex.
  13. If it helps we have the flanges in stock, both ends.
  14. Last week
  15. Using the Americans as a measure of quality is a low bar.
  16. Ewww, the cats were actually welded to the "custom" exhaust. 🤮

    DE Cats

    In need of a set of cats for my 04. Preferably high flow that will pass emissions. The old ones are a bit.....
  18. Anyone breaking a 370 got a drivers door mechanism for sale? cheers
  19. Lets see. I drove a Cybster a while back, looks nice, handles like a 3 legged donkey.

    Rear Brembo Piston

    I've used these people in the past for refurbed Brembo calipers & pistons: https://brakeparts.co.uk/shop/Nissan/350z/03-/350z 3.5 V6 Petrol/Rear - Brake Calipers and Wheel Cylinders
  21. Doubt it the quality of cars coming out of China has increased ten-fold. The Teslas coming from China dont suffer the same panel gaps as the ones from US. It will weigh the same as an SL Mercedes based on the size. Looks like a large car. Battery tech has moved along now. The model 3 weighs 1800kg and that's old generation batteries. This is going to weigh 1000kg apparently and made in UK https://longbowmotors.com/roadster/
  22. Cracking job, looks much healthier
  23. Been slacking a bit with the updates but it's been full steam ahead on the car. Pretty much finished the repairs underneath, just cleaning off the old crust and painting left really. There was a thick coating of "metal" over everything, I assume it's been treated with converter in the past leaving this thick crusty nasty stuff. I literally had to chip it off with a chisel to get something to weld to. Loads of chassis repairs from the kidney brace mounts back to the subframe mounts. Many times I contemplated giving up but she's coming together now. Not the tidyest of jobs but she's solid now.

    Rear Brembo Piston

    Hi All, refurbing my rear Brembo's due to a sticky piston, I've got all new genuine Brembo seals and everything looks in good condition apart from one piston I want to replace due to pitting, but I'm to struggling to find a genuine piston in this size which I measure at 40mm x 29mm height? Does anyone know where I could get one? or as there seems to be quite a few aftermarket ones, recommend a good quality one Many Thanks Ryan
  25. Owner moved to Bali about 5-6 years ago. It's just a body shop now.
  26. Looks nice.... except it will have a heavy battery, weight 2+ tonnes, be built from tacky plastic and monkey metal, and corner like an oil tanker
