Cutting up the centre console, adding mags and webers = saying goodbye to the Arab market. D'oh!

I'd have thought originality would have been the strongest selling point for this car.

Very interesting manufacturer in his description? I wasn't aware N.S.U ever made this model??

Look at the address ....... ummm Minchinbury, sorta says it all for me???

I bet he has heard about Kuwait's silly pricing skills and wants to cash in on it going overseas. I know the GTR look-a-like went to Kuwait for $14500.00 plus all the shipping and the deal was cut after the ebay auction expired, but it was an exceptional car, without opening the bonnet, it was for all intents and purposes a full on GTR. It had the dash, interior, full body kit, badges, rear & lights etc, everything that was a GTR except it still had the original L24 engine.

This 24K car has nothing like it!!!

An interesting point for me is, Shannon's are quite content insuring my factory spec PNV for $30000.00, but they wont go higher than 20000.00 on the modified version and it cost a lot more to make it that way.

Cheers, D

I bet that C110 coupe will go for very good money. Straight, original hub caps, cool vinyl roof... I wouldn't be surprised if the ebay add gets yanked down early actually due to a bit of pre-auction-end-haggling.

Shame they cut the centre console though!

Yeah I thought the same Drew.

I'm constantly getting calls on my mobile from Saudi Arabia, my mobile was listed when I was selling the other 240K.

Please excuse my ignorance but why do they want them over there so much??

anyone spotted good restored 240K or C110 or even old Z's 240, 260 etc?... prefer cars that have already had the work done (good work), don't have to be completely original... even restomod style that might be running modern suspension, brakes motor etc... sorry to upset any purists :thumbsup:

think its time to get rid of the R and get into something with a bit of style... you can't use 95% of the GTR's power on the road anyway

Keep GTR and get another car ;)

Never heard that term "restomod", quite like it!

2 cars fit in the carport and for some reason the Mrs doesn't like parking on the street

yeah restomods are popular in the US with old muscle cars... kinda the best of both worlds, looks great but doesn't drive like a soggy old sponge... ruins the originality and you wouldn't want to do it with a real collectable

I'd still run the original motor, not a huge fan of engine swaps and an L series with big carbs/cams sound brilliant

blk180: yeah that's why I don't want to restore one myself... hard to find good ones that people have put money/time into that they're willing to let go of but if anyone has seen anything let me know

In complete honestly Nick, I'd consider bringing one over from Japan. I've been looking at prices of C110's and C10's and they average 25k-30k for some NICE cars. I'm not sure about import of C110's though as they were locally delivered as the KHGC110 (rather than Japan's KGC110) but maybe it doesn't matter due to age. Some HOT C10's around....mmmmm.

As much as I'd love to see another classic being built, your car has character about it-it would be a real shame to see it go.

I don't like your chances of finding a half restored (to the level you're after) one around here. Better luck overseas. That C110 on eBay is a good base to start with given its complete but don't forget that these things are rare as in decent order locally, it's a case of beggars can't be choosers

A full house L series? Drooooooooool!

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
