does anyone know the difference? One mates got the R26 in gold/yellow and another mates just bought the R26R in black with black wheels? The R26R says theres only so many made but is it any faster?

Yep, some absolute bargains to be had out there at the moment.

I would go for a CTR though, 5k for a 50k mileage Phase 2 car, simply cannot do better than that IMO

I'm just bored of my car at the moment as i've had it for a hile and not done much work on it lol. Once the funds are back up i'll probably love it again.

I bought the wife a CTR last month, only 32k on the clock when we bought it in mint condition with a few subtle mods for a VERY good price
