Hi,

I hope this is in the correct place, please if it's not move it to where it should be.

I've seen a car on ebay I am interested in and wondered if anyone here could offer any advice, either about this particular vehicle or what to look for when I view it, thanks.

JK

Oh that looks nice

Like any of them that have been restored, it's a case of checking the quality of the work & if it was me, I'd like a paint thickness gauge to check what's underneath the shiny paint!

Perhaps another forum user might recognise the car, though with the number plates covered that might not be easy.

Wish I'd bought one when they were sub £10k!!

While looking very nice, just a few observations/questions, none of which would be unacceptable, but should be reflected in the price.

1982
Should it not have quad lamps?
Narrow wheels? Colour?
Coloured (as in, not smoked) tail lamps?

Missing stripes (I know- mine was without for a while. But it wasn't for sale)

Front top mounts may be a little crushed. caps Appear raised

Door handles appear blacked out.

You really need to get the car inspected by someone who knows what they are looking at.

Any defects found can be used to negotiate on the price.

I don't know anything about them but it looks like it's a cash cow to me.. paint looks bad on the offside, front badge looks way to shiny and the door rings?! wTF? The paint in the boot looks weird too. And the paint on half of the cam cover. Reminds me of that shiny black 200 for sale a while back!

You must be able to get an original example for that price.
