Spares or repair due to engine lights on

Factor in new paint too methinks

Basically an abortion on wheels

Bin that ridiculous paint job and replace it with the correct colour panels, along with those hideous wheels and colouring book dashboard, and you could bag yourself a cheapish V8, assuming the EML isn't serious.

turns heads where ever you are
Yup. Current owner clearly very happy with how she looks.
There are 2 ways to look at this one:
If you bought it you'd be inside the car most of the time so couldn't see the artwork outside.
Second, as bogbrush says, could be a way for someone to pick up a cheap 260 and fettle the way they wanted.

Nice garden-room in the background though. I need one to keep the midges off.

My V8 had the EML on. Ended up having to have another ECU fitted, had to get that from the USA. (Mine had to be re-programmed because of the S/C).

I'm in two minds over this and indeed many "custom" paintwork jobs.

Part of me thinks it's dreadful

.

Another part of me can't help but marvel at the level of skill that can produce something so complicated and "artistic"

.

If it floats your boat then go for it. If not, don't. We all have a choice.

Maybe it's worth it to get hold of a V8?

Andy.
