It looks well f!*ked but its worth a bit in running condition, and I bet someone can do it...if youve got the cash.
I take it its running a PRV that would drop into my GTA??? :twisted:

they use the 24v engine so although technically it'd fit, you would probably be opening a world of hurt as to whether the exhaust manifolds and turbo setup would (read: almost certainly not :-)

Crikey though............................. I've got itchy fingers.........

Yep, it will fit easily, when I had a look over the black 400GT, the manifolds and turbo are quite small and naff, and just have two single downpipes into two silencers that come straight out the back. Need to be cut and rotated to work in a GTA..

The guy has been offered £12500, but will do a 'buy it now' for £15000. I know its a late 1998 model with low milage, but I went and looked at a fully working one for only £23000, though it was LHD..

The reslisted ad says it's the only one in the UK, and one of only 14 built *cough*bullocks*cough* :-D

Dave, where is the one for sale - left-hand does not bother me at all!!!! (in fact the one time I've driven a super car in right-hand, it felt all wrong!)

Its long sold now, this was over a year and a half ago. It was turquoise top with white bottom (and the wheels in turquoise) and was owned by mr Farid of Farid Waste (people who make the garbage trucks)

Its the only RHD one in the UK, and no sh*t, I really do think there is only a handfull of road going ones built. Ive seen the production figures for the cars a while back, and im sure the 400's were only just above single figures..Ill see if I can dig it out...
