All of a sudden I want an SD1 - it's got to be Titanium Metallic with a green and black leather interior . . .

Hi v8trev,

Thanks for your comment.

If you want one it's easy.

Start stripping down your SD1.................................................................................& 18 mths later go home to be greeted by the dog growling & your girlfriend on the phone to the police because there's a grinning madman in the house. :lol:

WOW!!

Straight up, how much would it cost to do somethign like that?

I have a fairly minty SD1 in Canad (84 VDP Efi), but Oh My God that is stunning!

Hi yonexsp,

Thanks for your comment.

As for price I can't say (incase the girlfriend finds out) :roll: but as a lot of the forum members already know it's not just the cost but the amount of time you spend on it.

Hence the name: Obsession. :wink:

You could get a cheap new car for the price of the restoration?
