The B20 is a looker I have to admit and it was fitted with a V6, interesting for the year.

Garnet blasting has been around for a while, not sure if many use it, but they could recover the garnets and wash them ready for the next job, if they prepared properly.

Yes, it was the first mass production V6 engine......car was wonderfully balanced, gearbox, clutch at back with huge in board brakes...handled so beautifully, you could drive it full pelt at top speed anywhere

Way ahead of its time

OK I'll give that a go, lovely looking car finished, could see me in that tootling around Monaco..??

The restoration Zagato looks like it's been offered before and not sold, hence New Price, which is not disclosed and he is not English, what do you think on this one, not original stock, so £600..??

Seems that way you see them advertised for crazy money Frank but makes me wonder ....................are they actually selling for any where near those prices ordinarily , im thinking that those kind of prices will only ever be achieved at high end Auction houses and not in the classifieds
