late 70's to early 80's typical coupe really.. Similar to the Manta/Monza
Little bit like the early supra?.... Not to my taste, but could probably look special with a few grand thrown at it..
Apparently quite quick too

yeah, 20 years old now so classed as a classic car. i reckon if the selling price is right then you could make quite a bit.

totally, gambit is right.
My mate had one and he sold it after 3 weeks cos parts were a nightmare to get hold of and when he did get them they cost the earth. This was going back 7 years
