don't know much about them, but i found this one recently, if you work out the price in £, add shippin, tax, etc etc i bet it would work out cheaper to import then to restore and find the parts for that ebay one? www.tradecarview.com/stock/detail.aspx?sid=494864

I realise that many would shudder at the thought of (for example) Ford parts being used, but if it was either that or the weighbridge then I wouldn't think twice. Rare as it is, I'd still want to put a Piazza turbo engine in it. ;D

I had a look at this last year and the guy said he was looking for "around the 2K mark" at the time. It was parked up next to a Fairlady and an early 911 with a couple of old Alfa soft-tops nearby. It seems to be under a different Ebay name this time though as it was under their 'California Classics' name last time (unless it sold and this is the new owner selling it). It does need a lot of work but if I had the money and the space this would be my next project without doubt. (although I'd be tempted to drop a GC8 engine in there ;D)
