black sc on pistonheads
Does anyone on here own or know anything about this car: www.pistonheads.com/sales/3745625.htm ? Looks pretty good and decent price too.

It says 25,000 miles, but i'm sure i saw it somewhere else with 95,000 miles!
Sensible price for a SC though. Satin black paint is not for me!!! But if it's a solid one, then worth having.
On closer inspection, it is all a bit wrong. Did they make a SC in 1986? Mk1a side air intake, Mk1b leather door cards with Mk1b cloth seats. Dials stuck on the dash................. the intercooler is in the wrong place, wrong engine cover etc etc.

I think that one was for sale by some trader/tuner in Milton Keynes a couple of weeks ago. At least it looks very much like that one (satin black and that steering wheel). I think it was fairly low mileage - but not quite as low as 25k, Neil is probably right with remembering 95k. Someone reselling after just 1 month seems suspicious.

yeah i thought that mileage was unrealistic. maybe he means 125k miles. i quite like the satin black but would much prefer an original gloss black one. if the bodywork is all good then this could be a good buy.

i did send the owner a message asking about the mileage and if it was a genuine, original, factory fitted supercharger engine. No answer yet.

That's been on there before about a 2-3 months ago. Was up for £2500 I think.
Unfortunately it looks like the advert has been copied and copied badly -
The intercooler should be over the top of the battery if it was a true AW11 4AGZE, which it is not! It looks like a AE92 or AE101
Its a cross over by all the different bodywork bits and bobs and the one thing that says its not a charger is the fact its got the n/a rear lights.
Some chargers were produced in late 1986 but this was not one of them.
Spray it dark mica red or blue, change it to s/c rear lights, take out the minging blue interior and it'd be superb!

I think i might go for this one. Ive been in contact with the owner and he seems open and honest about the car. Obviously it is a conversion as many have already stated. The reconditioned engine has 25k miles on it since being fitted by a company called TRD apparently. I am tempted and will go and see it but im a bit apprehensive as ive owned a couple of genuine mk1 superchargers and have never ventured into the realms of conversions. Is it a dodgy area or something to avoid? Advice welcomed. Cheers. Rob
