The guy cherishes this car. He lets her warm up before he drives it, and it has a turbo timer for when she shuts off. As a previous owner of a rotary, I see no rebuild coming in the near future. If you talk to him, you will find the reason he is getting rid of it to be rather funny. He says he is scared to drive it because of the power! Well, he's not lying, I have ridden in this car and WOW

. This was his first import and an impulse buy. The previous owner was stationed in Japan and did every single mod you see in 2 years.

The reason why it is so cheap is because this is what he bought it for, minus a grand in dollars. Take this to mind as well, if anyone else had this car and jacked up the price to say 11,000GBP, it would sound more appealing and sell.....why? He is not trying rip anyone off, he just knows absolutely nothing about imports and is just shy of an inch shorter than me (6'4"). Not a comfortable ride to anyone over 6' to be honest.

So, I hope my honesty didn't offend anyone :oops: . If you have met me than you know that I will do anything to help someone out!! This is what I'm doing for him. So please, don't criticize the guys car without taking it for a ride or even talking to him. You will then know why it's going for so cheap. I don't mean to talk about the guy, but he is completely clueless when it comes to cars!! If anyone is actually interested, please let me know.

In my book 60k on an engine, of this type, is loads.......years of fun. If the advert is as straight as the car looks it should be a good gamble for someone.

Some photos of the front and a compression check would help sell it surely?

I'll be sure to bring that up to him Stu, cheers!

Yeah I know mate, that's kind of obvious

but unless you take the motor out yourself or are replacing a couple of seals on an otherwise pristine set of housings, tips etc then rebuilds are more than that. FFS Jimmy's says "Rebuilds from

V8_EATR,

Not doubting with your motives or honesty at all, it is a lovely looking car and I was very tempted cos mine is in need of a rebuild which is costing about

Nik, I'd ring the number in the advert - Bryan is only putting up the fella's details.
