Is that the best option though! If I bought one it would be a nice newish car and wouldn't want to do an engine swap.....would want to modify whats already there really.

why not buy an old elise or exige and spend the extra making it mental? would probably only cost you the same as a standard newer exige anyway

You will have to go drive one and see, I got bored very quickly of the standard power in a Mk1 Exige to be honest and I never had a 400+bhp Cossie at the time

. Never driven a new Exige S but I would maybe agree with some others, I prefer looks of Mk1 Exige, so get one of them and Audi Turbo it and a few other wee add ons and it would be amazing.

Disclaimer: I would still rather have a Porsche though.

Won't be within the next 6 months as the escos is off the road, i'm retraining and the track days are all wet until next spring LOL. I'll continue to research them though.
