I went to view the car think the guy's name there is Adrian it's a 1994 car I checked the vin no (I was told it was registered as a 1996???) it appears to be originally for the Canadian market not the European (Italy I was told and there are service stickers on the car to prove Italian service).
I don't know if Dodge even had a European version at the time perhaps someone else on the forum has that knowledge (Italy I was told) the tyres are shot (good negotiation point) History a little sketchy but it is 10 year old.
Car is starting to get a few stress cracks in the hood and if I remember it either has a crack or cracks in the front bumper (not 100% on that).
The heater air intake box has been damaged perhaps leaned on and cracked.
The general appearance of the car is one of have been lightly used but not with lashings of TLC (Needs a good home)
Don’t remember too much more about the car but well worth a look if you don’t have to travel 200 miles like I did. When I looked at it I told Adrian it was only worth £25K to me.
Good Luck

The car isnt a 96 just registered in the UK then, doesnt have electric windows or mirrors as stated in the advert. There was a Chrysler european version in 1994. The hood gap around the light isnt right, recognise that plate reg from somewhere

black one in PH classisfieds is a much better buy

very true.. Its about 1" misaligned on the LH side... looked a bit odd to me.

It's mine that is up in the classifieds for £23,500. Its black with grey and black interior. 1800 miles and in very, very good condition.

I have mine up for a sensible price as have decided to buy a 911 to both use for work and to enable the kids to come along too.

I could let it go a tad cheaper without the hardtop as somebody has made me an offer on this seperately, it comes with a tonneau and the soft top bits anyway.

Just had a £750 main dealer service [new everything, all fluids, HT leads and Air Aon regas] and CAT1 Alarm fitted, and best of all its only £450 a year on classic insurance!!!! And has 4 new tyres.

If anyone is only thinking and not 100% then still happy to show car and take you for a short run.

I am going to buy a really nice 911, perhaps a 996 Turbo, and keep it.

The Viper though is superb and if it doesnt sell till late summer then not bothered, it would be the best ever to take it to Le Mans. Would take just tonneau and leave side screens, roof and rear screen all behind.

the one at henley heritage sounds a bit dodgy but they might go down to a decent price. Benno's one sounds better, and in e-mail contact about it.
