:D :D It's officially Jackie's now, but I've got permanent re-buy rights, and yes the headroom with a helmet on is awesome (sorry Rodney). :)

That's OK, I've given up on ever buying this one from you.

If Rodney isn't interested in it, I'd like to get in line. That's one of my favorite cars, well, ever.

So any of you want this beast, have at it. I've determined once and for all that I can not fit into one of these cars if it has a sunroof. Thought about pushing forward on this and just installing a lowering seat. This gets my head to point where I can wear a helmet, but now the issues transfers to my right arm.

Slouching in the seat to were my head clears the sunroof and my arm on the armrest, now my arm is cocked up to high and doesn't feel right and awkward to move the shift lever. If I swing the armrest open, now my arm gets trapped at the armrest hinge due to my body being to low and having the seat back.

I swear, I just can't win here. The ONLY way I can ever buy one of these cars is it will have to be sans sunroof. bummer :thumbsdown:

Jackie's car is the only game in town for me and that simply won't happen as far as I can tell. Folks wanting to sell these cult followed cars are asking a small fortune and it's getting into M3 money. Guess I'll stick w/ the bullitt for now.

Ask and ye shall receive.

I have no affiliation with this car and don't even know if it is still available but it is a no sunroof car with most of the major maintenance done according to the advert.

Nice, Racelands. That in and of itself tells me not to trust the owner. Who the hell puts racelands on a ZHP.

Nice. I guess the 'Ultimate Driving Machine' doesn't have a 'Ultimate Cooling System' if the entire thing needs to be replaced.

That is what happens when the Germans use nothing but the best dutch plastic on their cooling systems.
