I have fixed in my mind that they were 13-14K or so. Desperately wanted one as a company car. Failed.

Eight grand when they were new in 1987, list, including the custom pack. It was of course a high inflation era so the run-out model Raiders went out at £10,995 in 1990.

MFW had one (great car!) which was H reg and I'm trying to guess when it was bought secondhand. Guessing 1993/4 - can't believe we would have spent more than £4k for a three-year-old...

In fact I'm liking that a lot (just couldn't afford a third vehicle frown )

Lovely car. Did you have it bore scoped? RMS done? IMS done? I nearly bought one two years ago but all the horror stories about bore scoring and an £8k bill told me it wasn't a wise idea let alone the RMS and IMS issues. I hope it all works out for you - it looks lovely

It's been bore scoped, but as it's an early 3.4 it doesn't suffer from the same IMS issues, RMS has been done too. Fresh suspension and brakes 2 years ago too. It needs a few bits doing to it, but it seems to be a good car. Fun to drive and a factory lsd too smile

That wheel colour does seem to suit it quite well.

Yeah they do. I quite fancy some BBS LM's for it, but we've got an extension going on next year so these wheels are staying for a while.

This is a very sweet little thing
