im sure its J rips old one repainted,and like RADMAN said its been on the market for ages...although i remember it being for sale for around the 13-14k mark last time....maybe the paint has become a collectors item and thus has shot the price up

Im not a fan of that. Makes it look like a replica imo. Also raises suspicion of accident damage, although that may not be the case with this car, but cant think why someone would do a full colour change to a decent car otherwise.

To think how much money has been poured into this

He's better off getting it painted in the original colour again.

As said this has been for sale a few times, not sure if it was the same guy. Sure I read in one of the adverts that it was some sort of show car, hence the GOD awful colour. Each to their own I guess.
