Well Mary, perhaps the buyer will take up the Challenge! Actually, you should have a good scrap with Class E (unless you name is Jack), there are certainly more of those since I started. I am actually looking for a Plus 4 Supersport (latest one) if you know any out there for Sale? :)

The MSA wouldn't like yellow roundels. Come to think of it - I don't either.

Yes, saw that one, thanks. Amazing how they seem to be going up in value!!! Another one at M. Rutter, slightly(!) cheaper.
No offers on mine yet - perhaps I should put the price up! :lol:

It's a bit better John but lacks proper white roundels. I am not sure that the yellow line around the cowl enhances it much either.
The price is a bit steep too! :shock:

No, before I had time to ring, a sold notice was posted!
Seemed quite a reasonable price bearing in mind the other 2 on the market.
Still need to sell mine before any serious negotiations commence!

Now if you had been looking for a period Supersports to go historic racing Andy perhaps we could have come to an arrangement...!

Enjoyed our races together at Donington - just a thought.

Cheers

I have now sold the car and the good news is I am now the proud owner of a Sport Red Plus 4Supersport, No 29 of 60!
Unfortunately, if it goes anywhere near a Race Track, Divorce papers will be served! So my exploits will have to be put on hold for the time being.

Well done Andy, but they do make such great race cars. There have been a couple of mods done since launch, so check with your dealer that you're up to date.

Phill No46!
