The words "happy" and "police" are non-compatible over here, I've yet to see one smile.

Hi Doug.

I am not going down that route this time, it's going to stay (almost) standard. Tony will be getting a phone call for a chip of course!

Derek Burleigh,

Being a late car, has it got air con, twin air bags, leather interior?

Just seems that most of the later cars were supplied/ordered to a more "complete " spec

I didnt think the police were that bad tbh, but then again all they seemed to do was to drive passed the beech looking at crumpet ...like guys do

So when are you organising a Mallorca meet

Doug,

It has air-con, not sure about the air bags, will let you know when I get it. Has cloth trim, but then 99% of cars over here have cloth trim as leather gets too bloody hot!

Hi Cola, I'm sure if my car has twin air bags they won't be as good as yours!!

The Saph has been sold to an accountant!!!!

No, really, he's OK actually, but I don't think it will be driven quite like it used to be!

So the answer is YES, it's still in Englend and living happily somewhere in Cheshire.

Hi Del
Gone soft in your old age .
Hope you enjoy your new toy & can resist the desire to modify it. Surely you can outrun the police if you have enough Power .
Cheers Rod
