mate thats well mint for the age,
reminds me of the stratos silver one i had 17 years ago, one thing i noticed with the interior looking so mint, arnt the seats the wrong colour for the silver model??
yours appear to have a red stripe and the silver /black cars had black or blue stripes now if i remember rightly.
thanks

Sorry, I aint been on here for ages. I got the car back what seems like a life time ago, got a m8 down to get the stripes back on & took a few pics.










The car was put in the garage straight after these pics were taken & it aint been moved or even looked at since..
