Pity, LOVED this car, still got the Street Machine with it on the front cover.

Though anyone ever notice something funny about the reg over the years?

Mick is fine but the car is a total write off. He is still trying to decide what to do next.

From what my mate Mick with the Viva said (he knows the other Mick very well) Mick and his brother are intending to fix it.

His WAY over the top rollcage really saved him, testament to how well built it was.
