Hello and wellcome, wish you luck with your quest, I have noticed there are a few for sale so your search might be a short one.

A real "Slydog" would have already bought one without telling the wife!!!

Good luck in the search, there have been a few available lately.

Good luck with your search, there is often one or two for sale and you will enjoy these V8's and hope to see you at some meets in your new car.

Quiet a few about at the moment, where do you live? as someone may be near enough to you to offer advice etc, if you find one close to you.
