. If I\'ve got reservations about the colour, I can\'t settle with the car.[/QUOTE]

Not sure if I like the look of that foam leaking out of the front os tyre.

Know what you mean Ian - my original rex was bright yellow which at 32 years was loud and brash but I didn\'t care cause everywhere we went we were definitely noticed.
Early this year I saw JAZ on eBay and it was defintely the colour which hooked me in, interior colour wasn\'t the best in brown but changed to my opted colour of wine/burgundy (call it what you will).  If you can get the external right, the internal isn\'t that difficult to change one way or another.  So totally understand your decision to move on - and to make a profit was even better.

Yeah, it\'s just personal preferences at the end of the day, my favourite 1st gen colours are black and white but then my choices change for other makes of car.
That said, if a special 1st gen or one in exceptional condition came up for sale, I\'d probably go for it.
There are a couple of very nice opal green cars in the club.....( well known as my least favourite colour!)... this one is just superb looking....

Welcome aboard Don - I too joined before I bought JAZ so even if for any reason you don\'t buy TMX I\'m sure you\'ll pick one up sooner rather than later.  In fact you could pick one up in your colour?

[CHC (RIP)]

Got to say it Ian - HJB sure does look nice.  I\'m a light colour lover and suppose nothing is going to change that.
It is funny though that some shapes certainly suit specific colours and also I\'ve noticed how people change when they get behind the wheel of some of these too - especially 4 x 4\'s ....... here I am and I\'ve got one of those.

Now that is very nice HJB.

Is that a kit, (spolier etc), and are they readily available, very expensive ?

It\'s the Elford turbo bodykit.... not made anymore.... the rear spoiler is quite easy to find.... the side skirts and rear spats are more difficult to find and the front bumper is unbelievably hard to get hold of.

Gorgeous green Elford.
It\'s such a light green,often mistaken for silver in pics,only i could\'nt live with a brown interior.

My sentiments too.

I can understand why you want this conversion Ian, it really is wow!

No Ive still got the engine and box from this car, oh and the bonnet!
Dibs had the carb but it was stuffed and the stainless exhaust is on my S3.
I should have saved more bits but didnt have the space.

This wasn\'t converted to run on bottled gas was it?

I wish it was, I have a good supply of LPG at work

Thanks Ian, sure is a beautiful looking.
