It does seem to be a very good price: I notice that there are 2010/11 Roadsters (Sport) being advertised at considerably more.

It's the car rolled by a premiership footballer at the Silverstone Classic celebrity race. The factory rebuilt with new everything except the engine and transmission. I am going to race it in class R of the challenge to replace my Class D 4/4 . Last 4/4 outing at the Pomeroy at Silverstone on the 18th of February.
The inside is bare aluminium, with an I trimmed race seat and harness. By the time it was a comfy road car it would be cheaper to buy a normal spec roadster. A shame to destroy a rare race car!

All the fun starts at around 1:38 Football and car racing don't mix.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq3SJhAp3XcIt demonstrates the strength of the car and the need for a rollover bar on the track adequately.

Wow...that's scary!
Impressive strength of the car, but as you say a roll bar is quite useful....

It wasn't the only Morgan to be damaged in the Silverstone Classic celebrity race. I happened to be helping on the spanners for a friend whose Mog was also used during the event. Just my opinion but it should have never been allowed to take place. Put a load of alleged celebrities, some of whom only obtained MSA authorization days before the race, on race track....bad idea!

And the car is now sold to someone else.
Which isn't dramatic considering the additional info provided here. I think I'll start with a more regular car...
No regrets, only projects !
