I've ordered a Type 20 which will keep me more than happy until the Type 25 upgrade is ready the shape has grown on me alot and considering my last T25 was the best car i've ever had it goes to show what the new ones like

For me the choice was always Spec C (& variants) or Litchfields Type 20, a choice I may make again in a couple of years with the MY08.

ps great that Litchfields are spending the time & money on development of the MY08 JDM Impreza & others. Though I do sometimes wonder with all their vast expertise & experience why they dont expand & diversify into fettling with e.g JDM Nissan GTR or JDM Integra. Can you imagine a Litchfields GTR

Hats off to them..... it's a great pity that IM / Prodrive never did it themselves.
Thats what I said. To buy one you'd have no not care about depreciation, or keep it for 5/6 years to level off the depreciation.

I do congratulate Lichfield for this car. For the money it's better IMO than the Evo X FQ360 that will lose money just as quick.

If I was lucky enough to have the money to not care about how much I lost on a car I'd consider getting one........... as a weekend toy

Oh, and congrats to Iain and the team on another success. Makes me wonder by how much the MY08 T25 will the raise the bar by, plus any 'other' forthcoming additions.
