Default First wash in 3 years

Well, I bought the saff as a rolling shelllast June , and finished it last year just before the snow came. Its been in my garage ever since. Its got its first MOT since August 2007 on wednesday so though I would treat it to a good wash, clay, polish and Wax. Its come a long way in 10 Months. It still needs the bottom of the drivers door, bootlid and small areas of the rear arches repaired, but that can wait till the summer.

when I bought it
