The cheapest non-cat (i.e. not written off) LS400 on Autotrader (there are seven) is north of £3k. Those Legend prices would suggest the LS400s are exceptionally well priced, except for the silver one that's nine grand...

Also, when did these get so expensive? A poor man's LS400 is all I see!

They didn't? I had one - sold it a couple of years ago. Absolutely no interest in it from buyers at any price. It was quite nice but not an outstanding steer. Virtually unsellable as far as my experience, the one I had was in good nick.  You'd wait a long time to see these sell - who would be the person with £5-8000 in their pocket and wanting one? Beats me.

A more real world price one on Ebay:

But even at that price sales may be hard work. No idea what spares are like on these but a bit difficult I would guess.

If I won the lottery I'd drive a Nova GTE over any of these modern supercars. Shame I don't play it, really.

Seeing those makes me think* that converting one into a Tronda Acclaim Coop would be mildly amusing*. Is the sheet metal sufficiently similar for it to be not a ball ache?

If you're gunna do it make up a spoof history about a one of prototype to wind the armchair experts up.

I know of a couple of cars that have been done like that, that are hilarious to evaesdrop at onlookers telling others they've heard all about the said vehicle.

I've seen convertible Calibras and 3 door mk3 cavaliers on the internet, so i guess it depends how much skill you have. Me? Not alot.

I suppose with the advent of cheap 3D printers even fiddly plastic things can be homebrewed much more easily, so even if there are a lot of differences it could be worked through without you tearing all your hair out.

25 years ago there used to be metallic green Chevette coupe driving around in Milton Keynes. It really looked the part, even the interior was Vauxhall tartan GLtype trim. I mentioned it once to a friend, wondering if tit was some sort of prototype that escaped the factory ( we’re only 20 miles from Luton).

He laughed and said the bloke that owned it told everybody that’s exactly what it was, but he’d made it himself out of a Kadett and rear ended Chevette, apparently the rear seat on the coupe is identical to a 2 door saloon.

That's lovely but has someone tinted the rear lenses? 

No, they are colour coded so the tea-leaves don't nick them. ?

Guess the price. I'll give you a clue, it's a lot.

I bought my mx5 from this chap ten years ago and he was great - the most reasonable and least salesman-y person I've ever bought a car from. Unfortunately it seems that I probably won't be in a position to buy a car from his stocklist any time soon. But would totally recommend to someone who wants to blow £150,000 on a lancia.

Two wheels this time. Buy a £800 Diversion, take the paint off of the tank, chuch the front mud guard in the bin, wrap the headers and bung on a seat. And ask £2,500 for it

Wonder how often you will strip the skin off of your shins walking into it before the exhaust gets canned?
