Sarnie Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I asked the owner today if it was an import or UK spec and he said; "bought from uk dealership owner by company director who designed it from scratch and imported it from japan to his spec. they are imported as jap.motor naturally" So I asked him again, is it an import or UK car? He said; "import but UK spec" Hmm I told him that it couldn't be UK spec as the UK cars didn't come in auto or without steering wheel buttons. No reply to that He knows exactly what he has and is doing his best imo to hide it Wouldn't actually be so bad if it was the £7k it should be.......

JetSet Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yes, that's what I was saying, but have another look because I'm pretty sure that's the HR bonnet. Not easy to see from the photo angle but it doesn't look like it has grooves and seems to bulge in about the right place. DB Looks like an HR bonnet to me too. Of course this could have been fitted at a later date. Also car has UK front plate and Jap rear plate . On the plus side, its a rare opportunity to get a facelift car in the lower tax bracket. Difficult to assess what it's really worth, being an auto and without the full GT pack...maybe a grand less than a U.K facelift GT with similar mileage Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
introspect Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Had another look and it's not the bulge bonnet. You can clearly see the grooves in pics 1 and 3, also there is no bulge there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Aye, you're right, Pic 1 is an optical illusion, fooled me . Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 On closer inspection it's fooled me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakes100 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 It has the light around the ignition barrel as well which I thought only the HR engined cars had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tprice Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 at least this one is taking the heat off the mistake i made in my advert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I think he`ll be very lucky to sell it at that price. You can pick up my old mint low mileage 2007 313 GT Roadster with about 4k of factory extras on it for less than that at a main dealer garage atm.
