As some of you are aware, I have been searching for an original MK2 XR-2 for bloody ages now. Today my search came to a flying stop!
Poised for collection is an unmolested '88 'F' registered cracker with less than 100k on it and all in one piece, down to the last factory washer.
It has been laid up for a few years but it has also been spared having any of its parts cannibalized or sold off. On the downside, where it has been sitting for so long, vegetable life has started growing both on it and in it. There's probably enough microbial life inside it for Attenborough to film a whole series on but i've made up my mind and i'm having it.
Haggling a price with the owner now but i reckon i can beat him into submission cos it looks like a real eyesore.

For whomever is interested i intend to document its restoration and recommission here on the forum. As soon as i learn how to post pics i'll slap a few together and post them up. In the meantime if anyone can recommend a top class bodyshop i would be very grateful. Not looking for a cheap job, looking for absolute perfection (whatever that costs) .

Car is black with grey trim. Pics to follow.

Thanks for reading. Help and advice is always welcome. Post in this thread or PM me.

Happy days!
