Buying A Sera

[Rookey]

Hey guys, I've been having a look at buying a Sera since last years JAE but haven't got round to it. Since then have bought an MR2 and am happy with that, but would like a Sera also, just coz i luv em!:)

Any advice when looking into buying one?

Whats the best way to go about buying a body kit?

Does a lot of the stuff for the Sera have to be custom made as its quite rare or can you pick up "off the shelf" type goodies for it?

Cheers in advance!

Dave!

Have you tried this site?

[Rookey]

Yeh cheers for that :)

That must make it about 7.5 secs 0-60 then right?

Hello.

I run most of the sites previously mentioned...

0-60 for a standard one must be about 8 or 9 seconds. About the same as a Paseo.

See you at JAE?

I have a Sera for sale, customised slightly, email me if interested.

Good choice of car mate.....hope you get one soon !

Parts are fairly straight forward, Dealers/motor factors/Halfrauds etc can supply 'run of the mill' parts. Bodywork/glass/trim etc .........see Andrew or ask in the forums.

They are great cars, relatively simple to maintain and reliable.
