That one 144 though, it's probabyl not available anymore. The seller hasn't answred in 2 days. It was probably snatched already.

I can take a look at the local market both in spain and Portugal if you want and teel you if I find something you might be interested. I can even help you facilitate the deal by talking to the seller or checking out the car for you if it's anywhere near me. No issues.

If you want let me know which specs you are looking for and what value and I'll look around.

In Portugal at least, consulting the tax brackets I can see the exact value I would have to pay to import a certain car. It's like a simulator that you import the characteristics and it shows you the value. I'm sure the UK must have something similar.
Hi SalvadorP,

Thank you for the offer, but I will continue my hunt here for a right hand drive 145 at a reasonable price for my 'project'.

You are probably right that the first one has been snapped up already, but good luck with the other one you've found.

Cheers
Steve

Regarding the o/d on motorways, Less frantic, etc, i go on long trips in my PV544 quite often, an don't find the revs at motorway speeds a prob, even with a simonz sports exhaust, at an indicated 150 kph.
