I'm with Nick on this one... Looks like its lined up along the bottom of the door, if it was open I think it would be more obvious.

It's my ideal car, but comes in at £4000 on the road in the UK. Currently in talks with Torque GT, who will go check it out for me, after I give them a deposit. Just not sure, 4 grand is crazy

F*** ME!! lol, The car itself is like a grand ish? So it costs all that on top just to get it here and license it??? Damn. Yeah it's a lot of money mate. But im sure people have spent that or more one over here when you consider the work needed to get it looking as clean as that one there! You know its gonna be rust free, proper little gem.
Out of curiosity, how long have you been looking for one?

Yeah the car is less than £900 (depends which website you saw it on) then there are export fees of about £800, another £800 for shipping, then 30% import fees, a few other things on top, agent fees, UK registration, immobiliser & alarm, MOT etc etc. It's madness.

I've been looking 24/7 for about 3 months now, but on and off i've been looking since I drove one about 10 years ago.

Yeah, big thanks to Phil for the offer, but I got to follow my gut with this one, the panel gaps and alignment puts me right off.
