brillomaster Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I'd love an S15 Spec R. awesome looking cars but so so rare over here, and the prices are going through the roof for what they are - a 350z is newer, faster and a nicer place to be, and is half the price of an S15. 2 Quote
nowhereboy Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 Looks like I'll be keeping the Z for a long time at this rate! Quote
coldel Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 You could have gotten an S15 Type R for £10k a few years back, I nearly bought one but opted for a VX220 instead - now as above quite pricey. Quote
Ekona Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I still reckon you made the right call there, VX over S15 anyday, even if just to say you've done it. Quote
brillomaster Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 problem is finding an unmolested S15 - there are two on autotrader currently, but both are heavily modified - admittedly the blue one looks quite nice, but even so, would prefer a standard one. also, when are lotuses going to start dropping in price!?! even the series 1 elises are still silly money for what amounts to be a bit of aluminium and not a lot else. shame really as i'd like to try one! hopefully S2000s will continue to drop, think that's what my missus needs as her next car, definitely...

JetSet Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Old British sports cars are on the rise too. Some like the TR5, TR6, MGB V8, Stag have always fetched good money but even the horrid TR7 and the bulky and slow MGB are appreciating these days. Pete Quote
Ekona Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 S1 Elises were £9K a few years back, I think that was the bottom end of those. S1 Exiges never really got below £18K, and are more than that now. S2 111R is where my money would go, more than good enough with a solid engine but things like working AC. Quote
coldel Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Yes the S1 Elise's are on the rise you missed the boat in terms of getting them at bottom prices. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Jetpilot Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 It is scary some prices, just couldnt help you with buying a s body at those prices Quote
coldel Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I still reckon you made the right call there, VX over S15 anyday, even if just to say you've done it. Absolutely I still crave a VX or Elise for the summer months! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Dynamic Turtle Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Type Rs are starting to go for a lot more these days, want an Integra Quote
coldel Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Would be great to have a teggie on the ownership list history Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
