ive got a low milage series one v8auto sd1 shell that I need a good home for..
its very good but has 2 small "ratholes" in the rear inner arch to bootfloor corners that will need welding appart from that it truly is rust free..
never been welded.
it has a rather strange history.
I am the second owner and rescued it from the scrapyard many years ago..
it was as far as I can tell a japan export (engine code, low 8.13:1 compresion engine, strange airboxes, air injected recurculated exhaust ports, and many japanese stickers on it ).
however it was LHD orig (aparently this was a status thing in japan to have LHD and they have even got a name for it.. not sure what it is) Confused

it was converted to rhd and sold and regestered as new in 1983 in the uk but like I say its a series one..

very strange history I presume it was sent to japan but not sold so came back converted to rhd and sold here...

anyways its a rolling shell.
it has all suspension and wiring loom etc. basically its a complete car minus engine/box seats and carpets/parcel shelf.
doorcards are there as it brakes all glass etc.

would be ace for a rebuild using the needed bits from a rusty car...
or a race car?

also ive just remembered the screen is cracked but apparently they are available cheep..
edit available for 130 quid in verious tints edit

I don't really want to give it away it has nostalgic value for me and it was my first v8 I owned.
untill recently I was planning on fitting a ford bigblock v8 to it but that project has been shelved.

I just need a good home really I know I could list it on ebay and get maybe a few hundred for it but for that money it is in the banger racing teratory and I want it to live on as these esp' series ones are getting rare now...
so if anyone wants it come and get it. FREE
located near bath in somerset..
thanks

I saw one of these covered in moss being trailered up the M6 this afternoon. Could it have been this one?
