If i only had that much to spend id rather save up a couple of grand and buy a non import thats a proper colour. You have to ask the question WHY would someone spray a decent escos a different colour. Ok in very few cases it may just be down the personal preference but it certainly raises suspicion.

having said that, if you can get a fair bit knocked off the asking price, and you can live the colour, then it may make someome happy on a low budget, or may even make a good base for a track car.

I have been speaking to the owner of this car for a good hour the other night. Basically the prevoius owner decided he wanted to do something different with the car so he decided to paint it orange. The car originally came from the UK and was then exported to Hong Kong where it was used for a while before the owner had to come back to the UK for work issues. It was stood for 2 years in a garage at his house until he decided to import it back to the UK. I was very interested in this car despite the colour but found you can pick up a standard car in a standard colour for roughly the same price.
