Depends what this new car in question is, if it starts with a B and ends with W and the middle letter is a M, then unfortunatly as Andrew has already said, Hell No!!!!! :D

Lotus Carlton?

They are awesome. A mate of mine had a GSi which was reasonably quick, but the Lotus must be phenominal

Be very careful when purchasing a lotus carlton, alot of the parts for it are specially made (some are gsi 3000) and cost a bomb!! Dealers only have 1 or 2 of each thing in and they can charge what they like for the bits.... :pants:

If you are serious, then get some advice from this website about buying etc....he knows what he's talking about!

These are not everyday work & back cars, they are special superbeasts :sinner:

Thanks for the advice like i said it's eithier going to be a Lotus Carlton or Jaguar XJR.
I like the Carlton but the XJR is cheaper in the long run.
Still have to wait for the ex to sign the papers
