Those cars are neat and I've only seen a couple of them live; last time was on a business trip to NY where I had to walk a few extra blocks as my usual subway stop was shut down due to Hurricane Sandy; saw it in the distance and knew it was a unique car but couldn't ID it until I got up close. Just don't see many of them.

Hi Johndemar no it's not but very similar , can't post pics yet I'm stressing enough as is , just don't want anyone to recognise the car and start hassling the owner.

Dont know if anyone know's this but if you post a particular topic you can find that topic listed under google, found this out last night as I was looking and reading Dino related subjects , There it was my own very first post on google :shock: :shock: :shock

Cheers
John

Yes John. It would be wise to keep it quiet. After all, I'm not very far away!!

However, you can rest assured I will NEVER get wifely approval! (or the cash) :(

Very sneaky photos. Looks good. I notice it's a "lefty". A recent import?

Imported from the U.S in 2000 and has been sitting in the garage for 13 years , the owner has always had the intention to do a full restoration & conversion but never got around to it, lucky for me.

Congradulations John! From the photos it doesn't appear that the car needs much in the way of restoration. Beautiful car.

Oh and if the necessary part needed to switch to right hand drive prove impossible to find or too costly, feel free to ship the car my way. :mrgreen:
