Popular Post roddy Posted December 18, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Hi - I have just put down an 'unplanned' deposit for an Exige 410 Sport 20th Anniversary from Oakmere for collection January 2021. In September I visited Oakmere looking to buy a Caterham Seven to replace my Porsche 718 Spyder and whilst waiting to test drive the Seven I asked if i could test drive an Exige. I used to own an Elise S2 which in 2004 I traded in for an Exige S2 which I instantly regretted and soon traded in for a Caterham R400. I was sent out in a Exige 410 Sport and came back with the biggest grin on my face - it was so different to the S2 version I owned. But I as I had gone to buy a Caterham, I stuck to my guns and bought a Caterham 620S as planned. Over the last 2 months, even though I have loved the raw speed of the 620S I could not get that memory of the noise and drive of the 410 Sport out of my mind - going past Oakmere most days didn't help either. So last week, I popped back into Oakmere and after a 2 minute conversation (and a little bit of man-maths) struck up a deal to exchange the 620S for a red 410 Sport 20th Anniversary Exige Oakmere had in stock. This plan lasted for 2 days, as when I went into drop off my 620S it came into conversation that they also had a chrome orange 410 on order for January delivery. So the paperwork was quickly changed and I am now counting down the days to collection. My only slight hic-up is we are in the process of moving house so I may have to delay collection by a couple of weeks. I will spend the next few weeks reading forums and try and not get too excited!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncx Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 I'm not too far from Oakmere, do you want me to pick it up and 'look after it' until you are ready to take delivery? More than happy to help Looks fantastic btw, I like the 410 and the 20th is just that little bit extra special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
