Its only a car for Gods sake.... a couple of young guys with supervision could easily refit that engine and all those bits and pieces

Could be a bargain!

In the second pic it looks to have a tan interior but the interior shows grey as does the listing. Cr4p camera or different car? Not for me, I have enough nightmares as it is!

Think it's just the lighting, Ian. The interior is lit by a light that looks orange compared to the carpark light. The camera has chosen the exterior light as the white-balance point, so the interior looks more orange than it should. Still, more trouble than its worth, fitting an engine/gearbox you don't even know runs...

It's just the way it's added as an afterthought

New clutch, couple of bits, oh, and the engine is over there

Thanks for the technical explanation Chris but I much prefer the tan to the ivory. Get it for under 5k and confirm with Russell at Autoshield about the rebuild and you could wind up with a cheap car with a rebuilt engine. Not for me though; I don't like the back lights and the bonnet vents!

Ha! BennyD, the bulldog with his jaws firmly locked on the pants of the 3200...

I assume yours came with the engine already installed and a lot less than 85k on its bores. You are right though, it does look very nice. In fact, if you close your eyes a little and squint, it looks like a 4200!

I still have this itch for a 3200......

I was slightly disappointed there were none at Brunty. Really fancied a go.

More likely to be crabs, or scabies.
