there was a Palacio S2 on autotrader with similar miles last time i checked, could maybe be that one? Pretty decent price though.

The one on ebay is a different one.

The car at UK Sports Cars was previously owned by someone on here and originally registered in Ireland (north or south I know not!)

What with all these Palacio Purple ones advertised for good money i think its time I sorted my Palacio out and sold it!

I'm new to these cars and have been doing a bit of research hence my interest in this one, although it is about £1.5k above the maximum I wanted to pay, although I have heard Palacio Purple ones are the fastest maybe that is reflected in the price.

Don't know who told you that :smt017 Being an S2 they are actually slower than an SE, but the differences are only marginal. They're certainly faster than one of those wind up N/A ones though :poke:

Remind me to give you a shot of the yellow peril (SE) next time we meet Clemo. You might change your mind :wink:

I had an early morning thrash up to Embra' this morning. Top down, snow everywhere and -3C !! :burnout:

Rambo's idea of thrashing a car is not contracting thrush from swapping it for a ladies day accessory and sitting on them nice heated seats for to long .

Its like the difference between where a man and a woman keep their money .
One is a mans wallet . sleek small and functional and the other is a nice big handbag with tassels .

As for Stevo . he had a wallet but he decided to unstitch it and throw it in the man draw.
