    Is this supercharger original?

    Ok...so not ebay but Pistonheads but didnt know where best to post

    Does anyone know this car? Is this an original colour?
    It states its a low weight model with tin top, wind up windows and no skirts.
    Tin top i have seen, wind up windows i have only seen on low end US models and never seen an SC without skirts....anyone know if this is a factory spec?
    Its RHD so i assume Japanese rather than USA car.
    Seems like a decent price for a reasonable spec car...had some nice improvements done.

    Ive seen on t'interweb someone in Canada with a SC that had keep fit windows from new, so its possible.

    I do believe that is the front end crash repaired SC I have mentioned a few times.

    Does it need to be original? Looks like a good buy to me.

    Nice colour...

    So this is the infamous crashed one. As long as the repair is done correctly I agree it seems a good price and it must be done correctly or it would have failed the MOT's since. I would probably want a lot more than that for mine (not crashed)

    Did I mention that I liked the colour.....

    Original is not massively important...i just wondered as it gives an indication of what amount of work may have been done if it is a colour change etc.

    Front end is only a concern if it was declared a write off as some classic insurance companies wont insure Category listed cars.

    Cheers

    Oh..and yes Kate...nice colour!

    Personally, although I love the colour, if I was in the market for a SC, I'd be snapping up the bargain SE which has just been posted in the forsale section.

    Yes...the SC SE does look great. Funnily enough i stumbled across this very car when searching last night after MK1dal mentioned painting a car in SE blue. I had never seen one before and now teh very car i was looking at is up for sale!

    Shame about the rust scab on the roof. I have seen a few of these before from poor windscreen fitting and some get really bad underneath the screen. Hopefully this one can be sorted easily.

    Easy fix, I really wouldn't let that put you off.
