A project car for sale on Gumtree.
It's white and it has got one of those weird body kits and a huge rear wing.

Im sure that design is from a guy I went to see whom an RX3 he had for sale over 10 years ago. He made all the kits and did the work. Personally I do not like these at all but I will say the workmanship he did was pretty good. Not sure why you would kill the look of the FB with this kit....F40 try hard! :D

incredibly even in these days of basket case 1st gens fetching good money this car isn't even worth the £800 asking price.... where's the value in it?

This is almost certainly A 200 BAU, series 2. Pretty sure the mods were done by Craig Dodd, midlands way.

It looks like it may have been Japanese import and in the famous pea green, what a waste.

pretty sure this is the one I had the glass roof from. I'm sure it would make a good parts car at the right price. what makes you think it's an import?
