Interesting but what a car. £25k?

Looks very nice, shame no detailed description in the auction catalogue.
Doesn't tell us anything about previous history/owners, if mileage is genuine, originality, extent of restoration, work carried out when, by whom etc
Should easily make £25k though.

Didn’t the lovey fairlady 2/2 with lots of nice original bits struggle to make £20k?

Yes, a good benchmark. That was a nice enough driver level car that made around £20k but it wasn't up to the standard that this car appears to be.

I think it was more appealing, colour, spec etc. Something about the silver one that doesn't seem right.

That's fairly vague, can you be more specific?

Not sure about that, the other car had a 2.0 engine and those unappealing JDM wing mirrors/mickey mouse ears

That'll be the front wing indicator repeaters being mounted upside down.

Hardly crime of the century and a common mistake.
Unfortunately I can never think of 2+2's without being reminded of the ultimate Z Club cult hero/villain/bodger, formerly of this parish, whose name and wonderfully entertaining thread just came back to me, the one and only Don Muscles
I need to erase that association quickly, any psychotherapists on here?

Or you might find some holes in the wings of your South African Z ready for JDM accessorization…

yeah, along with all the other positive parts. this is wearing a paint job and poor reassembly to me.

I see where you are coming from and agree the JDM car was good value and where my money would have gone if I needed two extra seats.
Wearing a paint job? I know the seller of the JDM 2/2 you are referencing and have seen it up close and personal - it had however also been painted so tick that one off the list

Please dont tar all of us 2/2 owners with the same brush. Just think of all of the nice 2/2s you have seen and not that monstrosity!!Hardly crime of the century and a common mistake.

Remind me, did he sell it and is it still out there somewhere?
