Hmmm, two doors - 780?
But what's with the number plate - LHD at least I guess.
Possible for a D5 conversion (http://www.garaget.o...c.php?id=169372)??

Don't let your age define you. It's a number, that's all.
Nasty D5 dieseasel with few twiddly bits from TWR, MTE, IPD and Eibach but 600 miles to a tank ain't to be sniffed at :-)

Is it RWD?

I suppose looking at the first pic and seeing the steering wheel on the left (wrong) side might have been a clue?

All the 780's are left hand drive, we want to get it running and replate it to UK plates and then see what we can do with the old straight 6 engine.

The 780 is a very rare car , only 8000 built, most where v6 petrol monsters, the diesel are the rarest , only 968 built , with the 16 v 2.0 litre next 1022 built. It is rwd so a t5 lump in very difficult, however it is possible to do a B230 ET petrol turbo swap and then swap the head for a 16 valve from a 740glt which we already have.
Power from this conversion is somewhere in the 220 bhp area.
