Jimmy hill and RHR houndstooth is worth picking up, if it's not bad for rot, worth a punt as 2 door 325s are getting harder to find, especially chromies.

Japanese model perhaps? Hopefully if spent a while over there the rot wont be too bad.

I don't understand why people post links up for things they're interested in, potential of driving up the price they will pay for it :mad:

Not everyone thinks that way. I never publish anything I'm chasing.

If it's a genuine 90,000 mile car, then it's probably well worth a punt.

Luckily you need to register to bid and that costs money or a load of zoners would have it up to 3 bags by dinner time ! :?

Its a 25 year old write off in a salvage yard that you are buying blind. The price it is at now is its money . Obviously it will go higher as inbreds fight over it like flies over shite.

When you rock up to the darkest depths of Kent with your trailer / transporter and find out it is hanging, the clutch is slipping , it runs on five cylinders and the salvage yard scum have chopped out the battery and anything else of any value, you are on your own and you will have already paid :)

It's got a tropical spec rad, A/C and no rear arm rest which indicate probable jap/Aus spec.

Reflectors on the front bumper hint at it being more than likely a South African turd. On a positive note it will have a 'Kaffa guard' , the downside no floor/arches/bulkhead :(
