I need a reality check please. I keep looking at this car, I have an XKR that ive spent some money on tidying up, so I should keep it really. But I just like muscle type cars in all formats and this looks fabulous....

Please tell me lots of reasons why I shouldnt buy it ? other than the money !

That is very, very desirable. What's not to like?
When you've done the deed, can I come round to listen to it? ears

I can't provide any explanation whatsoever.
The omly thing I can't quite grasp is why it's still for sale!!

its non-original engine type or spec
its non- original colour
its the wrong year for the R/T livery
it will always need work

This is what I was looking for ?

That looks great but ...

am I the only one thinking from the side it looks like a Dodge Charger kit car/replica based on, say, an Escort where the proportions are slightly wrong, along the lines of the MR2 based 355 replicas?



It looks awsome in all of the other pictures, just felt it shouldn't be called a Charger as the first reaction is to compare it to the Dodge one. General Bruce Lee.

The purchase of a car like that automatically enters you,(full membership) into this crowd:

I think No4, No12 or maybe No15 would best suit you Giles biggrin

It's old, probably smells, won't start in the mornings, isn't supercharged, isn't British, is a silly colour.

That said, buy it Giles! biggrin
