What did you think of the 2-tone car at SGT? I gather a couple of people on here have owned it but it seems you have a fair bit of experience from the buyer side
thanks

Charlie, to throw my iron in the fire: -
While I have not viewed this car personally I have spoken with the current owner and also have spoken with a impartial expert who spoke highly of it; therefore, I know a little about car 180.
You can also add to that: the previous owner is on this forum and kept the car in perfect condition (those who have seen his current car will vouch for him being fastidious). I am sure he will give you his opinion on the car as well.
Charlie, my advice would be to look at it and if you like what you see, have it checked out by an expert for peace of mind (although I understood it was being sold with 12-months warranty? and if this is correct, it should prove to be some insurance shoudl you require it); nevertheless, the mileage would not put me off.
Many people comment on the service intervals on Aero 8s being much shorter than a BMW with the same engine; however, the service isn't solely for the engine but also to review the entire car and ensure anything that can come loose is tight and as it should be. As a handmade product, these cars do need to be maintained and a loose car would lead me to believe it may have lacked proper service and tlc.
I hope that helps.
ps - this is the car at SGT and also being advertised by the current owner
