Spotted this in the garden of a house I viewed today, one of a pair rusting in piece.

240Z? Fiat 124? Jensen Healey? All of those feel almost right but still wrong...

Looks like it may be a 260z from looking at the wheels.

I presume that the seller isn't talking about the South-West of England. Either that or he/she doesn't get out much, the South-west is full of hillclimb and sprint courses ...............

With that spec it is a Sports Libre under 2 litres, so a VERY tough class to compete in.

I had a bog standard 105E just before I married Trish. You could hear the rounded cam rattle a mile away.
Oddly rust free (this was 1977) and i loved it, came out of a ditch in Wales, £25 with a short MoT. Never broke down.

Sold it as Trish had a perfect mustard yellow Mini 850 which was a great car and quiet.

Hot 105E's are fab.
