Hello,

Yes, its my car, but its now sold. The car was re-shelled in 1997 cause the owner put it into a ditch at 12,000 miles. Since then its only been used in dry summer days.

Instead of having the car repaired it was re-shelled even though it was very minor damage - all confirmed by GGR. Its also HPI clear

It's in mint condition as the new owner and his mates will agree.

Cheers

Kevbo

and I am a gold member...........

Rs baz and anyone else who interested

to find out who is a gold member or not click on usergroups top right

go to non- member groups and change the option to either male or female gold member
