Hi all new toy means these have to go . The efi is a beleived genuine 63000 miles and was run and moved up and down the drive until 2 months ago when the starter stopped working , not sure if its a dodgy connection or just knackered . Body wise underneath is solid but elsewhere she needs work .
The rust free shell is stripped out completely ready for whatever you want to do with it .
I am looking for around £500 for the efi and £200 for the shell , if prices are met could possibly throw some spares in as well .

That misaligned plate isnt a very good advertisement.

Your right I should have aligned the number plate and I should have washed and polished them but as I'm not selling mint cars but bottom end of the market which need work the issue of the number plate seems a small matter . And as I thought I would offer them to sd1 enthusiasts 1st before putting them on general sale where the efi will end up being bought for its engine , maybe you could ignore the number plate hanging off .

can you give us any more info on the efi mate?
ie what work it may need, etc.
don't want to teach granny to suck eggs, but have you tried whacking the starter with a hammer while somebody turns the key? worked wonders on my old 2300s every time i wanted to drive it!
the number plate hanging down makes us feel sad and want to rescue the car. good sales strategy mate!!!
good luck with the sale.
ps i take it the efi has got leather? could be a crucial factor........
still don't think it's enough to stop me getting another p6 when i sell my 78 v8 next month though. Smile

Body wise needs front wings rear wings windscreen surround roof panel bonnet doors just passable , the reason the rust free shell and 5 litres of opporto red was bought . exhaust gone on 1st box . Has new front discs a recored rad new viscous fan . Will see about posting pics this weekend .
As for starter too awkward to reach with a hammer and where car is currently sitting can't get a jack under to get at it .

Use a long iron bar placed on the starter motor and hit the bar with a hammer.
