The Cossie was the Icon of my teenage years.

I was lucky enough to borrow one in 1992, before the days of Fixed speed cameras.

I ate up a 152 mile journey N. Wales to S.Wales, overtaking everything, and beating an Audi Quattro and a 350 SL Mercedes who were in just as much of a rush.

Thanks for bringing back this memory

Couple of wee bits aren't to my taste, but it looks like it's really well kept.. and with 500/500 it'll not be shy at all.


Cheers,

Lovely car, the wheels give it a real 'track' sort of a look

What tyres are on it?
