Does look cheap.

It is missing the rear valance though..

No rear valence, 'homemade' rear bumper, dreadful 'generic' rear exhausts...
Does this car have been crashed on the rear ?
I mean it was crashed : see for example the (not so perfect) alignment of boot with the rear wings. No pic available from the spare wheel box under the car too.
Not so expensive, but not a bargain...

Those rear exhausts look correct to me, except that the right one looks out of position. 13379 has the same ones, which I was polishing this afternoon..

The metalwork behind the rear bumper is not correct though - there is no lip to support the boot seal along the bumper edge, and so no seal.

This is a very difficult deal. The owner is in Canada but disabled and uses a lawyer in Finland to sell a car in Florida.... to make things worst the title is not even in the supposed owner's name! it's in the name of a dealership that is no longer in business. The sale was done in 1992 and never registered. Try to untangle this one!

Stay away from this one.

I tried to go and see the car in Florida but the lawyer would only allow me to see the car after paying for it in full in an account in Finland... He would not put the title vs the cash in an escrow account. The only way this transaction would happen is if I sent the money up front in Finland with no title or a car to even see!

BTW the price 2 years ago that I agreed to purchase it was $10 000.-

Be very weary of this one.

Web site says it's now sold. Any ideas who bought it? I've been lagondaless for a year or so and was tempted to give it a punt!

Hi Vincent

Well, I've previously owned 13359 (LHD) and 13430 (RHD CRT). I'm after a CRT-er more than anything.
