You have to be a direct descendant of the Bucket family to own one. This is clearly her teenage sons new car. Hyacinth would not approve of you owning it Tuns, in fact i bet she has a deposit on it already....  ;D

It depends what you want.

Consumables and service items are easy enough to get.

Bits of trim, and more complex items, no chance.

Of course, there are no genuine spares any more, only OEM stuff.

They sound very nice too, although, as said, don't quite have the "go" (or the looks) to accompany it.  ;D

X Power exhausts sound very nice, even standard though sounds lovely, although you get a lot of shout and not much action  :-/

The same engine gives 375bhp in the SV-R! :D
Breakers and ebay probably the only way to go for spare parts though. I image they are pretty easy DIY servicing?
