Dealers to the 'for sale' section. Is that a rule?
Nice enough car, not sure about the wheels... they look like they're just steelies painted black... is that some negative camber I see on the front?

Wowzers - a dedicated retro dealer...
Not sre how I feel about that one.
Still, car looks tasty. But should be in the for sale section.

looks funky
they badly need a for sale section on their site, or at least a taster of what they've sold/and the work done on modifying, that gallery isn't anywhere near enough!

kool imp, would sort out that negative camber asap otherwise it wont be so nice for long.......negative camber is no fun AT ALL:( tis the reason why people say imps have bad handling......mainly because they have messed about with the geometry while still blaming the car:S
