I bought this a couple of months ago and have clocked up nearly 2000 miles in it going to work and back. I wanted to restore it and give it a respray, but I'll be bogged down by work for the next year and don't have the time. I don't want to have to stick it into storage to languish for half a decade. smile

It's a 3.0 V6 with a manual gearbox, there are no faults with it, everything works.
Only bad points is the front wing needs replacing (it rusted and has been badly repaired), and the rear arches have corrosion (not excessive). Also the 3 spoke alloy wheels are hideous.

It passed it's MOT at the start of April without me doing any work and it's taxed for another 6 months. It hasn't let me down and starts on the key. PM me for more info/photos if you're interested.

I've seen this car, it would make a brilliant project for someone, the metal is mostly there, just a few bits of bodywork. I don't know what the mechanicals are like.

Its a very unique looking car with the gullwing-ish roof glasses and lazy eyed headlamps. 220bhp I think, not a slow car thumbsup

Sorry, price is £700.
It's non-turbo, HICAS was on the ones after these (Z32).
It's a LWB (there's only two SWB in the country).
It's going into my lockup tonight, I'll be back every weekend. smile
