There is a 1972 Corona Mk II in the classifieds if u are interested. Seems to be pretty well restored though.

If you are looking for a project car, the best way to do it is to go hunting for one as far away from Colombo as possible.

A Nissan President perhaps? I recall Indra traders having an old one ages back... The high spec ones came with V8's and a lot of bell & whistles

there was a first gen Lexus LS400 advertised some time back

why is that ?

why is that ?

When cars grow older, they tend to migrate far from colombo... generally they migrate back to colombo for restoration work.

All Spyders are soft top convertibles right? But this guy is looking for a big old car ne?

true it wasn't really related to what this guy was asking.. that ad had quite a few classics and the spyder. was wondering if that was the blue car which had a crash some time back

Noticed the Herald convertible on the same ad? Now thats a great collection lined up in one ad hah

Isnt the Mustang you're thinking of.. This is the late 70s model, The car advertised has a 4 Cylinder engine and can be charitably described as a "demanding restoration project"

Also, the dude selling those cars has a very bad reputation in Classic Car circles.

There was an old Cedric (Diesel) for sale on some site asking price was somewhere closer to what your looking to buy. It was a 330 model but could be an earlier model as well. One of my bosses friends was doing up a 6sri Cedric if I'm not mistaken and he claimed that it had all the electrics as standard.
