I have just taken my 3200GT (May 2000, W reg) out having fitted new battery for the winter. The clutch went down and stayed down as I was taking it for a service! :eek: Everything turns OK still and there's a bit of drive available, but very stiff. Unfortunately, that combined with wanting to do the timing belts has made me realise that it's not for me at the moment with neither time or stress to get back on road. It's as my forum picture, but car now at garage with its service book so no more detail at moment. Around 61k miles, reasonable main dealer service history. Perfect running engine, great exhaust. MoT was until Dec 2018. Boomerang rear lights. Straight body apart from a minor ding that I inherited and I am sure could be invisible pulled, great brown leather interior and matching golden carpets. All was fine on road until I left it too long, I could cry. Good alloys, CD multichanger etc. Anyway, I would like to sell it and take stock, so wanted to pop it on forum first before dreaded eBay! Very happy to answer questions and have a chat. I know a chap who can deliver at about £1 a mile based Farnborough. Car currently in Reading for viewing. No sensible offers refused. Thank you! Hesk

Can you post up a couple of photos including the ding and interior. Best wishes with the sale, I had one for 10 years and loved every mile.

Sorry to hear of your woes sir. The 3200 does not like being left sitting. they need driven. The 3200 can be generally be a real can of worms and I have seen a few quite useable cars scrapped because no-one wanted to sort out the issues, and the only reason I mention this is that if you want to sell it people will need enough information to work out how much trouble it will be, so I would suggest some more info would be good. Its a lovely colour by the way, Highlander on here has one that colour and its wonderful. good luck sir!

Photos now...
The ding can't be seen in my snaps. It's very gentle and has to be seen in better weather. It's on nearside front wing.6259162593625916259362595625966259762598626006260262603

My car is almost identical,Verde Mexico,tan leather,gold carpets etc. I think you should have the problems sorted. Once it's back to normal you won't want to let it go,it will instantly be a keeper.
I did my clutch at about 60,000 km. & it's not a big job and it's not expensive if you buy your parts from the right people. Hang in there dude !

As a project I fear it will be worth pants, 4-5k ish, maybe sorting the clutch then selling? At least make it driveable?

I took on a Project 4200 from the forum in 2014 what kind of figure do you have in mind.
Message me if you like.

Looks nice, shame you’re not sticking with it but can understand.
Good luck with the sale.
