Mark Piper Posted June 23, 2003 Author Share Posted June 23, 2003 Nick tried to mail you pictures - took 20 minutes on my crummy old home 'phone line...only to be told your mailbox had exceeded its quota! I'm in Essex, 25 minutes from Stansted/M11. I'll try mailing you one picture at a time tomorrow afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Crickmore Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Noooooo! It can't be true. I'll have nobody to keep up with if you sell the SLR Mark! I can vouch for how quick this car is, I've been left in it's dust more times than I care to mention! 19K is a good deal too. Mark, fancy a P/X on an SL?

Gadge Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Mark, I don't believe it!! You have just the car I've been looking for - problem is I've literally last weekend put down a deposit on another car (which was supposed to be non-refundable!!) I have the cash and provided I can get all of my deposit back I would very much like to come down to see you - (I'm in Birmingham). Can you let me have a phone number or perhaps you could call me 0121 6342218 (work) or mobile: 0789 9662445.

evoness Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Hi Mark, If your car is still for sale, I am interested. Could you please try and send me a couple of photos (1 exterior, 1 interior), though I know you have been having a few problems with this. Cheers Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I've got a short bit of video with Mark roaring off down the M25 when we went to Brands last October..and the accompanying commentary... "F**k me, that car's raucous!!" *thumbup* *thumbup* 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 Best of luck with the job hunt Mark. Nifty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Piper Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 Leo, car's still for sale, I'll try to mail you some pictures (not sure I have any interior shots though) tomorrow. Nifty - I remember that day well - are you going to the West Wittering event Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evoness Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Cheers Mark, WRT p/x, I have a well sorted, quick, Lancia Integrale Evo 2 which I am selling to join the 7 fold. A friend of mine is interested, but if this tickles your fancy then let me know. Looks like you want another 7 from your post...

murph7355 Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 He doesn't like Italian cars. He thinks they're gay. I think that's because he's from Essex or something. This car should prove a good buy. He drives like a granny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evoness Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Ok, now you're worrying me... Any petrolhead knows that 'grales rock the world. I think the fumes from the side exit exhausts are getting to you guys 😬 Italian cars are gay, huh? 6 consecutive world rally titles?! Perhaps the best competition car pedigree ever (not at all biased though!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph7355 Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Trust me, I like Italian cars. I like 'grales (especially of the Evo2 variety). Mark just prefers things of Teutonic persuasion. The sort with fat arses and/or that you can't tell which direction they're travelling in (which is probably something to do with being able to hide his driving style). Seriously nice car his though, and I can imagine him being gutted at selling it. You could do much worse than to take it off his hands and learn the sheer joy of English motoring. PS I'm sure Audi and Ford might have something to say about the competition car pedigree angle, but I'll let you off. Like I say, I like Italian cars. And pizza.

Nifty Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Mark, Not going anywhere this weekend apart from desk and bed *mad*.. ..have a deadline for a project that is approaching faster than one can say "Bloody hell, Pipers off again!!" 😬 Catch up later...was toying with trying to get to The Ace Cafe on 8th July.

evoness Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Hi Mark, If you give me a call sometime this weekend, perhaps we can organise a test drive / viewing next week. Many thanks Leo 07970 482 741 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Piper Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 Scuffnut drives a Fiat...when he's not damaging it in Aldi's car park or scraping the wheels on kerbs that is. Incidentally Scuff, had cause to be in Egham yesterday and had a good nose at Talacrest's Fiats - seems Mr Selleck's cars may be a little pricier than I first thought... I love Integrales but I would only consider a Seven in px and even then really want to see £10k clear cash from the deal. I'm going to the West Wittering picnic tomorrow if anyone wants to see the car in the flesh - Doz I notice you're in Brighton - I guess that isn't that far away from there?...why not come along tomorrow... Nifty, if I still have the car I 3xpect I'll join Gary G and the Essex hardcore down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Piper Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 Doz, mail me at markpiper@zoom.co.uk and I'll send you a picture of the car by return Regards Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nifty Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Colin, Of course you can back out if full balance hasn't changed hands. They've still got the car I presume. Caterham seem to back out of most of their agreements...well certainly the time element of them anyway. Go in heavy handed, don't take any bull and then buy Mark's car..one great motor at a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Piper Posted June 28, 2003 Author Share Posted June 28, 2003 Colin, my car's not concours. It has some stonechips, the Tillets have scratches on the bases and there's a small ding in the rear underneath the rear boot cover (so not visible). The wheels could do with a polish (I may give them the once over tomorrow). It doesn't have a dry sump either and one of the front cycle wings has a crack in it (more of a fracture really and not worth changing). Are you saying Jason's your mate and he no longer works for them now? That's a bit of news I wasn't aware of. I am aware that Caterham themselves have an SLR coming up for sale that they paid less than mine for - I guess you might even be able to get a deal on that one if you want to save some cash. Having said all that if Jason wants to come and look at it (I'm in Essex, 30 minutes for the M11 Stasnted airport turnoff) he's welcome to - mail me on markpiper@zoom.co.uk and I'll mail you back my 'phone number.
