Thread: PSA: best value NA1 3.2 at the moment - R7NSX

  1. #1

    Default PSA: best value NA1 3.2 at the moment - R7NSX

    Just saw this one: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...01710230566183 and thought it was worth mentioning here for would-be buyers.

    At £42k (not much more than a typical auto) it looks great value. UK car, manual, coupe, 3.2, late NA. Mild mods.

    B*gg*r all info from the private seller though (don't think he's a forumite). Seems to be somewhere in Herts/Beds.

    Is that not the infamous "Jaguar" development car?

    Cheap car for someone, if legitimate advert (looks a bit dodgy tbh)

    MOT history looks like it was in private hands

    Yeah, that's the car that was at BCA Warwick (Classic Car Auctions) back in September - papalazarou and I both had a nose around it, and both came away thinking it had been utterly mullered. Failed to fetch reserve, at an auction where a nearly-as-tatty (but one-owner/low-mile) UKDM DC2 fetched nearly £10k + buyers premium.

    Ref. the Jag mule - zoom in on the cockpit photos, you can see the non-standard stitch/join lines in the corners of the dash (where it was cut to fit the cage by JLR).

    Depending on the state / originality of the chassis underneath it's either a major project car (full respray, new dash, new engine bay cover, some serious decontamination of the boot, tidying up the naff HID fitment, yada yada), or a good part-out car.

    Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...
    Yellow '96 NSX 3.0 - oh was it worth the wait!
    Black '99 ITR - well, I had to have another one, the first was so much fun. Miss this one even more than #1...
    Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
    Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
    Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
    Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof

    Was it ever damaged do you think Martin, or just well used? If its straight, very good car for resto. Prefacelift NA2 manual coupes are very few in number.

    Very good question Mike - JLR would know the answer to that. Also depends how the cage was fitted / removed...although that shouldn't be a problem.

    Agree it should be a good basis for a resto, but given the shopping list you'd want to be paying sub-£40k for it at most...unless you had ready/cheap access to some unmolested replacement parts... :cough:

    Here's the CCA listing - "partial history", whatever that means...sorry to say I didn't bother asking for the paperwork.
