I'm putting my 50th up for sale. It's number 118 - There was 192 of these registered in 2001 and there are currently only 112 - mine is number 118.
If you've followed my threads, you'll know that I took it off the road a couple of years ago, to do the body (detailed on a previous thread) leatherwork, replace the carpets and sound proofing, replaced the driveshafts, did the front wheel bearings, then completely rebuilt the engine (including a rebuild of the injector pump and injectors - nozzles replaced):
Jobs that will be completed before I let it go:
I've had the car since 2009 69K miles, it now has 128 k miles. Nearly all the jobs done have been to improve the car, rather than repairs - Always been a bit anal about maintenance. Asking 13K and offers will need to be close given the money that has been poured in (more than I'm asking).
