I've been hunting for 4 or 5 years for an essentially done/straight Y88. I've loved the gold TA's before I even knew they were special editions. Did my homework on Hitman's site and consumed all info.

Found it in Clearwater, FL from a private seller who really wasn't into it. He scored it from the previous owner who lost heart after a negative body/paint experience. Paint has some minor issues but owner at the time spent a lot of $ and became frustrated trying to get the car back. Trapped in the shop for two years as I understand it.

Made the deal and gambled on the 1300 drive. She ate about 4 quarts of oil, but other than that she was solid. Gauges all worked or I woudn't have risked it. Came with some spare parts that I'll post. Has the original gold rims but no room in the car for the drive and didn't want to jack the interior up. I'll get those another day.

Very pleased! Now to sort out all the little things.
