    There are 5 on Done Deal, 1 in Belfast, but the V.R.T. could be quite expensive. 1 in Donegal, and there is a man in Kerry advertising 3. Watch out for the RUST.:):)

    None of them are rust free, even when they were built the bare shells were stored outside!! I've restored many of these over the years and I can positively assure you they are all rust buckets. Consider a DR450 Majestic Major, a superior car in many respects but scarce now even in the UK. I sold one recently to a man in Liverpool, an excellent example from a private collection in Japan with very low mileage and a huge history file.

    speaking of japan a jap import might be an option ! theres some very interesting european vehicles being imported from there these days i know a rolls and bentley specialist in tokyo had a few ds420 s but they were last of the line models and think they are sold now but u could try an import agent

    I said the advert says its rust free.A big claim I know,but it wouldn't be too difficult to check
    it out.To say one thing in the DS2420s favour,it may have its rust issues but mechanically its pretty good and spares are easy to come by.
    It comes down to what the OP's budget is.If he is looking at cars around the £5k mark
    then he is unlikely to fly over to japan to buy from some private collector.

    Most of these have been banger raced or rotted away by now. Horrible rotters made worse by the fact many have been bodged up over the years.
    They were made until 1992, so the later ones are not that old. Not really a drivers car, the front is cramped enough.

    You're missing the point.They were never meant to be a drivers car,their main function is wedding car transport and they serve that purpose perfectly well
