See the link to my 240z in my signature its got flared arches and 17" wheels  So yes, I will happily reproduce that in LHD! With the future idea being to maybe replace the engine with a RB25, just to save the standard engine for resale value of course

Interesting the beam and rigidity bar are in the same location as the 350 and 370z. Theyve always been 6 cylinder too. Be nice to own one in future! Project car etc

Let me lure you to the dark side ;) 

Can be had for £70k brand new out the box for a high optioned "base" car or you can buy a used higher spec model for that/less.

 

Best drivers car the money can get you, holds its own in terms of performance with cars worth double that also, but nobody will come close for sheer fun ( Read some reviews, all say the same thing - its bloody brilliant even at twice the price )

Way back in August hahaha.

Typical though, 2 days after I collected there was one locally in better spec with less owners and same price. I spent 9 months looking and never found one, then two came. Been looking since then and still no more have come so I'm glad I made the purchase when I did.

Well, I am back and the London apartment has sold, just waiting for it to complete. Estimated date is 1-15 June....

 

Today, I went for a drive through Lincolnshire, unfortunately it was in a 120d BMW, not exactly an exciting drive. So with the first part of my budget becoming available shortly, I have obviously prematurely started to look at cars. 

 

The budget is MAX £25k for this car. Needs to be fun and thats about it. I would prefer cars that dont cost a fortune to tax or insure. My list:-

 

-Datsun Z car

-Alfa Junior

 

Any other ideas? Will consider LHD as well

Love the idea of an Alfa
