Bodykit & a couple of panels need painting to be perfect but otherwise the car is in vgc, no rot at all. i hope to tidy it up & have it for display purposes next year for those that are interested.
Let me guess, you got to here about this one before the RN went to print?

Purely making a point. Not seen the article or care to do so, not even a member of the club anymore.

Anyway... my point being it wouldnt be the 1st time someone has got insider information on something from within the club etc brought it and it then still being advertised etc in the RN

Rant over & fair play.

Mileage is in my sig m8, theres loads of interesting history with the car up to 92/93 then nothing till now, it was laid up in a barn from early 93 till about 3 months ago! Car is not easy to photograph at present, but i have a week off at the end of August & will take some pics then, i will pm them to you, pics will be on the series one website as well. Cheers Tony.

i know what you mean about sunroofs , mint ones are very difficult to come by!

Picture of the grey one from today, I think it looks good. Will take it back to standard in the future but will be used for fun like this for a while first Grill etc will be fitted before it comes out on the road so it will look better
