TradeMe car thread
Discussion
My old car is up for sale. It was my first 911 and a real beauty. The tartan interior wasn't me but the rest of the car made up for it. We had considered re-upholstering it but didn't want to wreck it's originality. I beat a WRX around the back track at Manfield in this girl

Like I said . . . nice cat
Haha your funny. I never even saw the cat,
It is actually quite nicely engineered. Especially the exhaust fabrication probabably due to limited space. Very TVRish. I personally wouldn't own it but think it's a well executed project. From what I can rememember these things were quite competative back in their day. My old boss runs one with a twin cam Lotus in it which has or is featuring in NZ Classic Car mag.
You could look at the heat issue two ways. In the front the headers would get much more airflow over them reducing their temperature but it'd be a *&^%#& doing any work on the front of the motor if the cars been running. Nice pipe work tho

www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Toyota/auction-94666572.htmO.k now the Muira,
I emailed a friend who I thought may be interesed in it. He emailed them and I called in to see Dennis. The car is still in Japan. Dennis (car dealer) has a long term business contact in Japan who comes up with some unique pieces from time to time and lets him know. The Miura came up and Dennis has advertised it, I'm guessing on consignment only ie: it sells it come here? I didn't ask much more than that as at $625K my friend felt he was dreaming as he could have a fully restored or mint one out of the UK for $500K landed and complied here in NZ. Ahhh toys
