Where did he bring it from ? :?


It has a black vinyl insert in the hood flap and lotus leatherzz so something fishy is going on ?

Its a 20k + as a nice car on the continent so 10k is probably not too out of the way if it is not a monster.

I'm told the guy is looking for £15k minimum. Not sure if that's achievable with a blown engine.

It does if the engine is stuffed. Rebuilding an s14 isn't cheap before you even start the bodywork, and you'll still be left with a car worth less because its a cat d.

Agree on the S14 engine being an expensive rebuild.

If the car is put back together correctly and repair documented the cat D is not really that big of a deal IMO.

I have seen far worse none cat. cars
