Well if you want an R then you want an R, but it wouldn’t be my choice for a 3000 mile a year sub £40k package.
I’d forego the drag racing capabilities and get something that would be a bit more fitting for the limited use and budget restriction. Something that had a 45 on the end but wasn’t a Mercedes. Or even aClubsport with a few options which would be well under budget.
But that’s just me.
