Very nice looking car......

Thanks Minimaff.

It does look well, only it needs some preventative work doing now as it was about to go "on the turn" when i bought it.

Its booked in for a new sill and some copious amounts of waxoyl next week!

Now that its in my possession it can look forward to a lifetime of being cosseted in a big warm garage )

Yes!

I was planning on moving the reg plate anyways. Ive got a private plate to put on it, plus the previous owner thought that it would be a great idea to mount the oil cooler behind the reg plate! Durrr..

I will post some pics once the cibies are painted up and mounted.

Will do. It should be back from Paint this week.

Once that is done, it will be engine out time for a strip down, checkover and monster cam.

Yes it is fella. I had to drive it 270 miles home the other Saturday! Do you know anything about the car? The previous owner only had it about 9 months and had very little info about the history of the car.

Any info would be greatfully received.
