Hi All, I'm selling my Dinan 135 and assorted accesories, including 3 sets of wheels and tires.
The car is a 2009 that I custom ordered and had delivered in September 2008 (I have the "year 1 of the 1" starter button bezel). It is used only on weekends and currently has about 26,000 miles. Most of these are highway miles, but many of them are from places like Lime Rock, VIR, Watkins Glen, etc.
The goal from day 1 was to have an outstanding street car that would be a lot of fun on the track. In the past 4 years I've done quite a bit to the car, most of which makes it more fun, better handling, safer and faster, but none of which impacts its merits on the street. The car could be kept exactly as-is (my ideal plan) and continue as a mixed-use joy ride or as a dedicated track machine. It can drive your mom around one day and torch the tarmac with Hoosier slicks the next.
I drive the car to the track on street tires, and carry my 4 racing wheels/tires in the car, along with my tools. The rear seat is currently removed for tire transport, but can be re-installed easily.
All of the upgrades and pictures are below. If this ride interests anyone please feel free to reach out to me. I'm more than happy to discuss the value of the car via e-mail or over the phone. I really want this car to go to someone who will cherish it as it's a great piece of engineering. I am in no rush and under no pressure to sell. I take VERY good care of this car, as I have always expected to keep it for a long time. All maintenance to date has been done at the dealer, including all of the Dinan work. Brakes, roll-bar and other things I've done myself. There are some minor bruises on the body that go along with Manhattan parking garages, but mechanically it's in perfect shape. Note that I also have lots of accessories and parts that would be included in a sale. Thanks for looking.
