Can't be many of them out here i wouldn't have thought


If only I could justify another car...

30 grands pushing it though you reckon?

How much are these back in Blighty?

I'm sure I saw this car in an ad in one of the aussie classic car mags a LONG time ago...same picture of the car to.

Don't see many of these either - kinda tempting...

Looks to be in good nick - would need to check the chassis though.

I believe there are a few in Aus, there was a light coloured one for sale on Carpoint a while ago but around $30k would be about right for a real minter. You could import your own for low 20's but the hassle has to be worth something.

It's a difficult car to price really - rarity on a foreign sports car only adds value if it's exactly what someone is looking for. You could advertise for $20k and it would sit there for 2 years or put it in at $35 and have it go the first weekend.

I've driven a few, IMO they go quite well and have lively handling, nice place to sit and I like the styling.

Looks in very good condition.

As long as the chassis is sound I think that would fetch around £6,000 in the UK.

What is $30k in sterling?

I thnk about 12-15,000 pounds? The used car market is really over inflated here be it a rare sportscar or some mass produced family barge.
