ah i think i was imagining your 330 coupe when remembering someone had something.

the one on trademe meaning that one in like, palmy north, green in color, very rusty, for like $300 or something?

Im looking forward to seeing pictures of this one as it sounds Very tidy apart from the fact its sitting collecting rust on this guys lawn, with reg on hold.

the current owner intends to fix it up,
but its been reg on hold sitting on his lawn rusting since 2005
seats, doorcards, dash and bumpers are mint
Is really strait but hard to tell with the paint like it is.
has rust coming through everywhere, needs worked on strait away to get rid of the rust before it overtakes the car :(
looks like its just going to stay on his lawn to rot

Am I blind or does it say 240c on the badge on the side?

Wow, that is exceptional, would be a crying shame if it was left to rot, someone needs to pick him up on Sunday and help him with motivation! (Drag him out to Akoroa)
Yes that has a 240 Grill so pre 260C.

It is a big pitty :(
It just needs paint and pannel and it would be mint,
Though now that its been sitting it will need the brakes overhalled etc.
I bet its genuine 63000 miles.
