Tiny's guess IS the nearest, with regard to Marque ..... I had thought Capri, and had considered a 3.1 , but the cost is way too much, along with Mk1 and 2 Escorts, and even to an Omega MV6









BUT .........





















Excuse the lack of quality of the pics ..........




























I was walking around a Boot sale Sunday, and came across this at a bargain price













300ZX Z31 3.0 V6 NA :-






And it does pull well

Steve,

The price tag though !!!!!!

I do love Mk2's ..... On Ebay at the moment, there is a Mk2 van, with a 2.0 pinto and RS2000 front end .......... But at a starting point of £3000, not a track car/van
