there's a difference in personality when it comes to how many doors someones car has?

But seriously they are hard to find iv been keeping an eye out for any here in SA and haven't seen any the time I've been looking. About 12 months. Got a 4 door swallow tail and slowly getting it back together but it's needed so much work and parts its been a nightmare. There was actually one came up on gumtree ages ago but the body was completely rotten and the engine was stuffed! He wanted 4 k and wouldn't budge lol
I let that one go !

If that's the case, then I must have multiple personalities...
2dr V 4dr comes down to an individuals opinion.
Personally I like 2dr better (looks cleaner).. but my 4dr mk1 does kick some serious butt!

keep hunting, took me 3 years to find my mk2 and 2 years to find a 2dr swallowtail.
They are out there, just make sure you have money aside for when they pop up.

Speaking of which I may be inclined to sell the 2dr swallowtail as is, any interest, shoot me a message.

I searched for a long while too mate, and never saw 1 suitable 2 door without heaps of rust or a really bad history.

I've had 2 door cars and I do personally prefer the cleaner lines but a good 4 door can look just as nice imo, and with the added extra 2 doors can easily carry more people!

i've been able to get just as many people in my 2 door as anyone would ever need.

Thanks for the replies gents,

I know i've just started looking but hopefully I can come across something. I don't have the time or space to work on a car so would be looking for a clean straight car.

3 doors are not popular in many cars over here? Much prefer the lines of a 3 door, and i've a prado for when ever I need to carry folk
