Blatman Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Tried a few on that list. If I was in the market it'd be an M240i. Some of them have had the LSD specc'd by the original buyer but not many. I'd definitely be fitting a Quaiffe ATB to the back of a non-slippy enriched version and if that is what ends up being purchased, I'd factor that in right at the start of any price negotiations. My rationale is the M240 is (in my head) a post-modern Mk2 Escort... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevip6 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Think I'm set on the M2. Had a personal video viewing on the Yaris and I'm not convinced. The Porsche is too high risk. If I went for the M240i I'd want the LSD and so the M2 comes with the diff, better brakes, better suspension and I love the look of it! Negotiations start this week! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevip6 Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 It's Long Beach Blue amazing car, was chucking down on collection day and loads of floods on the roads so i've not had a chance to test it properly yet but it's definitely a different driving experience from the Leon Cupra I've had for the last couple of years! The first car I've owned where I've had to consult the manual to find out what the hell some of the settings are! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
