Yes as we all know fashion is a moving beast and what’s in fashion now won’t be next year or so. Even if I liked the colour (which I don’t) I would never purchase a car involved in any form of accident! As they are very difficult to move on when the time comes.

I know white and Sepang are rare, but I'd much rather have Imola or Interlagos!

The only rare colour I'd love would be Phoenix Yellow, but it seems the UK only got 3 MCs that colour. :lol:

And as SiJar says any car with a "Cat" marker is going to be hard to shift when the time comes.

Would be better with a black interior to give contrast.

Would rather have a ///M roadster and £10k in my pocket.
We have been gazing a lot at this sepang car, and think that srhutch is quite right in saying that black may be a preferable colour for the trim. There was another popped up recently for sale as we recall, can someone point me in the direction of the adverts for that one please? Also came across one sold last year from the Woburn Bucks area, 48k miles with the maritime wood trim / black leather options. Thanks in advance.

I have seen you comment on a few posts saying your going to put it up for sale or it's for sale.
Obviously you want to so write out an advert and get it listed.What I will say is there is already an Imola red for sale still after 4 months on the market so make sure you get your price point right and make sure the advert is very detailed included good pictures and service history :thumbsup:

Yeah as I say just pondering but every time I look at it or see another I think nah as they look so nice ,but it won’t be cheap and yes I’ve seen the others so if it doesn’t sell I’ve not lost anything have i,had a few people ask but nothing has come of it so far,think it’s the timewasters that put me off from putting it up here

Thank you james28.
The wood trim worked very well with your car, very impressive. The extended leather cockpit would make it a very nice place to be, in the other car from Ebay.
Looked closely at a 4M roadster the other day with this option, including the A posts, it makes quite a difference.

Personally I'd say if you can't decide, then keeping it might be the best option for now.

Back in 2016 someone came to look at my 1st Coupe on a Sunday and said he would let me know. I took it for a drive on the Monday and he rang later to put a deposit on it. I put a deposit on it's replacement on the Thursday! :roll:

But replacing a good MC in a great colour might not quite so simple.

Yeah your all right I’ll probably sorn it in nov but might give it a go at selling but then again it makes me cringe at the thought,apart from my Datsun 260 z there’s nothing out there looks wise that floats my boat,yes I love both my imprezas but they are ugly but nice in their own way,bit like my old Saab 900 s turbo really
