This is my Mk2 RS2000 Broadstripe September 1976 model. I bought the car after it had been stored in a single council block garage for 18 years. The owner had the car repainted in 1992 and wasnt happy with the job and lost all interest in the project....so it remained in his garage untouched since 1992 till I opened up the door in 2010. It still had masking tape on it!
The car is original Signal green and according to the DVLA V888 enquiry it was supplied by Hendy Lennox Southampton to a man in Fareham. The car has remained in and aroung Portsmouth, Fareham and Eastleigh all its life.
It is now undergoing full restoration and is currently at a local bodyshop awaiting paint!








Its first wash in 18 years







Removing underseal to fing original green and primer!







refurbished front struts..hard to think how rough they were!






Now at bodyshop

























Been rebuilding engine, had it dipped and chemically cleaned then painted. Just fitting new mains, big ends, rings, cam bearings and gaskets etc!


























soon!!!!
