I'm not sure if this has been posted here yet. Someone sent me this via Tumblr. Vin 570 on ebay.

If I was going to get a second D, I'd love to get a RHD. Low VIN one for the Cool factor.

I'm wondering what it would cost for the car and shipping it to the states.?
(I'm looking at some Creative financing too see if it's in my budget)...

I think the UK owners paid about $1000 to ship the car so I am sure it would be about the same in reverse. DMCJohn shipped his from Ireland to NJ last year so he would be someone you could pm if you get serious.

That's a very cheap price for a RHD btw.

I agree! I wondered why it wasn't updated in so long. Too bad it didn't turn out to be a Legend replica. Still, very nice car and he does a top notch job with anything it seems.

Too bad it didn't turn out to be a Legend replica.

The plan was to fit an actual Legend engine; the only replica parts would have been the air scoops. I believe Chris still has that engine.

There are Legend replica engines available, either with the original 'modified K-Jet' or modern EFI, but AFAIK the only vendor that offers them is DMC Europe. The only engine upgrade Chris offers is a stainless de-cat exhaust.
