I have a mate selling his up North - its a Jap Eunos in Green and it currently his daily summer fun car.
I've asked him to let me know what he wants and can pm you his contact details.

Most Jap Eunos models had a LSD so great fun but a little snappy when it kicks in. Loads of opposite lock steering and power slides...well kind of power ;)
Plenty of grunt in second gear and then it all goes away but good fun anyway.
Suspension needs sorting with gas adjustable shocks and a strut brace to get anywhere near mini handling.
Watch for sticking calipers and rust to the rear of the sill and wheel arch.
There is a good club forum and cheap parts too not that you would need many.
Great cars, shared one with my sister for 12 years and sold it early this year for £1500 with no rot in green.
You can pick one up in the winter from £200-£600. I was offered a mk2 1.8 with a hardtop, 6 months MOT and a new caliper for £200 recently. Bargain auto test car if I had the time and space for it.
