Too rite i will!!!
There not an auction ya c so they'll have to stand buy the car if they sell it.. Which will b a bit hard coz i live the other side of the world.. But all their cars come with an odometer guarantee and are genuine... But i will be getting more detailed pics soon enuf hopefully so il post them up when i get them...
Heres a pic on the interior... Its very clean for a 92!!! And im not gonna show a pic of the rear as it has rotton lexus lights and a weird rear bumper!

While the car has some obvious mods, it looks very nice. Have you asked for compression check? And I'm with you on the rear lights. Maybe they have some stock ones they can put in for you?
In any event, keep us posted on your progress and good luck.

Whereabouts in Ireland are you? I'm in Kilkenny. All I can tell you is what you probably already know - any form of rotary will have to be imported meaning it's a huge shot in the dark. I tried getting one for my Lotus 7 clone - tried everywhere including Traynors in the north who didn't have any and weren't expecting any - so if they don't have them it's safe to assume no-one does. Your best bet is probably England - but you will pay for it and God help you if you need parts - sucks.
