nice idea, i have one ready to go - cypriot body, reconditioned engine with bills to prove. i sold it last year for 7k, now for sale again! this gold one on the thread looks tidy but the paint has bad pitting, ive not seen it in the flesh but certainly worth a look seeing as just as you said there have been a lot of ****ters on the market for top money, as always buyer beware, go and have a look first or only buy it f its so cheap it doesent matter.I saw pics of this car and it does sound better than most in this price range, and a better prospect at 4k than a crappy one at 2k
The blue h120 was offered on facebook, a chap bought 5 cars as he wanted a nissan skyline, this h120 and a std auto, both to rusty for the road were up open to offers, they were in south wales this chap bought them and looks like hes trying to get a drink on the parts, engine siezed and probably wont sell as i just about got 1250 for a complete h120 with current v5. anyway good luck to him it makes all my holbay engines look good value!!!!!!

Hi John,
I wonder if it is one that has been known to the club in the past? Amazing that these cars that have been stored away for years still keep surfacing :-)
Sounds interesting light resto for someone. Value so difficult, but the fact that it is a genuine unmolested example will help. A good sound Rapier Fastback with nice paintwork and a good interior, must be around £5-£6k now. I know there is that yellow one up for sale for c. 8k, but I think that's a bit steep. Really hard to value it without seeing a pic or two, but people do love 'barn finds'. I will pm you for details to add to our records if that's OK. Cheers. G
I have bought this car now and although I'm not a member of the sroc yet you are welcome to add the details of my car to your records if you wish.

The car has had one owner from new,only 33K genuine mileage.off road from 1985 (garaged),engine turns by hand,great interior,chrome etc.I have not been able to get under tha car but there is very lttle evidence of rust on body (minimal on front n/s wing and n/s door). Waxoyl type protection from new.
If I didn't have my SIV I would certainly consider buying this car it's amazing.
I would appreciate any input regarding possible value.
Anyone interested please send me personal e mail for photos etc etc.
The car is in Crewe,Cheshire.
Cheers
John
With the benefit of Glen's opinion of its value if anyone is interested enough to consider making an offer I should be pleased to forward the photos etc etc and arrange a viewing.

I'm surprised that 200+ 'hits' have not produced enough interest to request photos and I am wondering if there is a problem with personal e mailing via the forum.
The photo file is sizable and I cannot add it to this post.If anyone just wants to have a look e-mail me and I shall send it via We Tranfer.

It seems there is a problem in me receiving personal e mails via the forum so here is my direct e mail,

I've been asked by the owner,Peter,to have one last ditch try at finding a buyer.
He feels selling the car to be broken up for parts would be a disservice to his late father's keen attention keeping the car in top condition before he finally stopped driving.
A sale to an enthusiast who would put it back on the road is what Peter wants,he is looking for circa £2500.
Anyone interested please get in touch with me soon as time is running out.
John.

If you want someone who has owned a couple fastbacks in the past to give it a look over I'm only in Nantwich?
Pretty savvy when it comes to corrosion, bodywork, paintwork and bodges etc.
