Well, I had the S40 up for sale for a while and also had it on the Swapz website where I received a few interesting offers.
One of which was a road legal quad, but not exactly something I want or need atm. a rather nice Vecturd Estate was on offers, but I've just come from one of those so wanted something different.
Another was a track prepped, road legal Fiesta XR2 with 1800 Zetec conversion, big brakes, 2 litre cams and RS Turbo ECU and fuel management whatsits...but needed a whole panel replacing on the fuel cap side
Then I was offered a 1990 Eunos Roadster...
Ok I know it's not practical, but I couldn't help but be intrigued at the proposition, even if to sell on.
Low and behold, I've now got it and I think I might keep it
It was subject to a cat c in 2005, but VOSA Vic checked and is in straight order at the moment. The previous owner didn't tell me so was a bit annoyed
It has an oil leak which my friends Snotrag thinks he's sussed as a common problem, so hoping to have that fettled this week.
Bootlid is manky, needs respraying, paint a bit s
t in places, but mechanically sound and plenty of T&T
anywho, here she is as she stands:
If it proves to be realiable, I might even throw some money at it on a couple of little tweaks and alterations
All in all, not bad considering I've only got £300 in the old girl

Superb! I'm on my 2nd one myself... couple of months and you'll be wanting more power
aye, quite possibly!If I can get this business off the ground and start earning and find my way into a position where I can have a second vehicle, then I'll keep it for a good while and do some work on it!

£300?! 
You'll spend almost that insuring it (if not more)!
What you will also need to spend money on is a steering wheel.
That one is
Other than that, it's a bloody bargain.

The steering wheel isn't the best, but it does for now
Insurance was £380 Fully comp from NFU mutual - 10k per year, only £60 more than the S40!

It's been a lovely couple of days for it. Saturday I had the roof off, basking in glorious sunshine and drove through the countryside to Ilkley for a massage then back again!Lovely day today.
Amazing!
Not planning on going anywhere today like, waiting for the CAS O ring to arrive
