A troll?

Now you've done it.

Stick to your Syncro questions & don't mind Madmax, sorry Manxman! :wink:

I do hope you are being realistic with your budget. In 5 pages you ain't going to say.... "I can't find anything I want for 2 grand!" are you?

:lol:

I can hear all the RHD Syncro 16 owners firing up their engines to be first to deliver one to you for that money :wink:

Is this a realistic budget? Dont get me wrong I aint gonna go and buy the first one that comes along, im very fussy. I can look at 5 and go back to the first, and if its ment to be its ment to be.

I thought that there were only two RHD 16" built full stop, both for the Australian Rally? One was a Trakka conversion, one a DOKA. Saw them on Youtube.

Mike Plompen is said to have sold a RHD 16" DoKa to a chap in Ireland and by all accounts its just sitting in the yard on the owners to do list. Paul will know more about it as he has seen it. Might be wrong though.

There was supposed to be another one in Botswana (?), but then again I did hear that on the internet! :lol:

£3-5K for a......RHD Tristar, RHD 16", RHD 14" converted to a 16"......that you want/happy for your wife & kids to use!!
Realistic?......No
A 5 years back?...maybe, but the last few years all T3 prices have risen. And syncros have always been the most expensive T3's. Mainly because they're the coolest! :lol:

Keep saving! :ok

Well after a nice chat with Ian aka mcgill5, it looks like my wish list is almost impossible, so we have come up with a different plan to obtain the same result. Watch this space is all I can say. Oh anyone got a spare SA bellhousing floating about, that they would like to lend me. Would like to see how much it would cost to get some made up.

edited: or even the part numbers for the associated parts.
