Looks like a nice car and the 6 pot front brakes are a big bonus!! Sagging headlining is an easy fix but not sure what could be causing the central locking problem. No doubt there will be someone who can help you on here. Good luck with it and enjoy the car.

saph4be The paintwork looks immaculate, is it original factory or has it been re-painted? The big brakes will be awesome and are a must once you start getting to stage3 or more. I hope you get as ,much pleasure from it as I have had with my Saff during the 25 years I have owned it!!

Who ever did the re-spray certainly did a good job, no wonder the paintwork looks so shiny!
