You planning on keeping both the mx3 and rx8 or is one of those going and the FB taking its place?
lol, i've had to leave the 'hunt' for now as gone back to school, well Uni doing a part time post grad course which is taking up my evenings.
plus it's coming into the 'cold' months and just concentrating on getting the mx3 through it's MOT.
i've spent quite a bit of time/money getting the fuel system all sorted out and the injectors replaced/resealed and new front brakes.
but yes i had always planned on keeping the rx8/mx3 and add to the collection. i would prefer an on the road car as listened to alot of advice
and a project wouldn't be an option for me as no one to install an engine etc. so i just keep on here as enjoy the craic and seeing people's cars.
maybe next summer if the prices don't rocket up!

lol, well there are a few near me, but at £3000 upwards, very clean though. but just too much on at the moment to spend time to go
look and i'd prefer something alot cheaper as a starter. but you never know someone i know might get fed up with theirs and want to sell it on.
I didn't get myself anything nice for my birthday lol and you never know what comes along.
Should be a few lhd's in your part of the world though?

I have had a look but the interior in the RHD ones is much better. The dash and console looks better, or made because I grew up with the Aussie version instead of the US/Euro ones. I am looking at every option but I keep looking for a UK one, but we will see.

doesn't look too bad in the photos apart from the missing panels..... but it's probably rotten as a pear underneath....
and as for the delusional " Seems a shame to weigh it in, so bidding starts at £500 (the engine has to be worth that on it's own)" ...... never in a million years
Good spot though.

another barn find,i must of under estimated the amount of uk barns left.
most probably a shitter,hence 'good panels' removed.

No, don't know it......Excitement time.
I'll have to patiently try to work out the Reg. From the 3 letters at the end it's an 'A', 'B', 'C', or just maybe 'D' plate
