I have had a feeler offer for R55000 on Saturday for it. All I can say is I can't replicate this car for that kind of money. The previous owner is also interested in it, he is a collector, and I know it will be on the next container to Madeira, if he takes it as he only visits SA on the odd occasion now to buy up classic cars. :zhelp:

This is what it looked like when I got it, many problems, the previous owner reconed the tranny was shot, but a set of new tranny mounts sorted that out :lol: Interior was crap, so was the paint. Apparently this car was a pan off resto in 1991, if so it was a crap job.

Had accident damage at the front.
