the overly quilted tunnel trim? Like a North london sex club?
...and the 100% carpeting behind the seats, up over the wheelarches....I'm perhaps sounding like a purist but it looks like a '70s bathroom in there.Seats and quilted tunnel are personal taste ....
Trying to be objective.
I think by the title and the long list of negatives - subjective is the word . Objective would be less of a personal opinion , and a more unbiased view ,IMO.
When I look at the car - there’s nothing really stand out wrong with it (price maybe ) , but the combination of some of the detail does put me off it.
Amongst all that detail , it’s Funny how annoying I find the odd plug lead ......
Exactly, trying to have a less personalised vision as regards the exhaust at least. A lot of detail can easily be fixed if the selling price is revised but I couldn't live long with that rear carpeting. And I'll bet that this has the stock US 4spd and 3.36 diff, no anti-roll bar etc, etc !
No....Portugal is the country that charges a fortune in import tax.They are certainly asking a high price for what they are describing as a partial restoration.
Is it expensive to register an imported car in Germany with the TÜV requirements?
. It would be a different car with a z story exhaust ....
The listing does lack a bit of detail and it would be a pass for me at that cost - putting it to my own personal taste .
Talking of which - not a z, but this was on eBay this week .

If only it had metal flake/ glitter paint .
its far from the worse/most offensive listed for sale. At least its honest. More than can be said for some.
There's questionable taste everywhere. Live and let live.
Agreed - if I'm looking at the advert, it's because I know what I'm looking for OR, I like it and curious before I buy so I look up what I can before diving in.I don’t see the point of all the background info. on historical design issues etc. In a sales listing .
I can do my own research on that.
I want to know about the car. Id rather see a seller include factual info on the car - mechanical history , modifications , non- original parts etc.
That's a bargainPlenty of exhaust choices out there for all tastes and especially budgets.
Is that Spikes' Healey ?
