Don't think it's the same car Marky. It's been in Scotland since it was built in 1994ish, The last road tax on the car is 98 and has been parked up since, Not 100% that it isn't though.
.

I have been swithering to put it to the colour of which it should be (white) but i'm not too sure what to do!!!

Hopefully the plan is to have the interior re trimmed,Get a carpet specially made to suit the floor pad,Change the glass from a S1 Turbo,Change the axle from 3.0ltr Capri to 2.8 Brooklands/Special which will have a slipper in it then possibly strip it down and Re Paint it white. I am not too sure of what White to use but I am sure i will get plenty of suggestions on what to use. The engine is as far as I know standard but I think I may just leave it at the moment.
