Scimitar project (again)
Simon - 29/8/17 at 05:43 PM

I have decided that having more important things to worry about (and a lack of time and interest) that I'm going to sell my Scimitar project.

It's a 1980 SE6.

The body and chassis are currently separate and I have welded Mazda RX8 front and rear subframes (with wheels) onto the chassis. I was going to install a Lexus 1UZFE engine and box into it and use as much of the Mazda interior (dash/seats etc) as I could. More recently got thinking an old beetle shell might be more appropriate (but chassis would need shortening I suspect.

Anyway, the engine and box (with all ancillaries /shifter/ecu etc etc) cost me £500. The RX8 was £300ish and the Scimitar was £750.

I sold off the Scimitar mechanical bits (engine and box/axle) and all the interior ended in the bin because it was rubbish.

My blog pics etc are here http://scimitarv8project.blogspot.co.uk/

I'd be happy with £500 for the whole lot. Pics should you give you an idea what's there.

Will chuck on ebay if no interest here

Cheers

Simon
