Admired this at Cumvag last year, looked mint!!! I can certainly vouch for the external quality of this.

 

Going to make someone very happy this car!

The car as been for MOT this week and failed on one thing only, the rear brakes, so will come with full brand new rear brake calipers, carriers, discs and pads, all in about £300 including labour! :shock:

Great news that you're keeping it. Did you just have a change of heart of have circumstances changed? It was getting a bit depressing seeing the flood of people selling.

Change of heart really, was only selling due to too many other projects! Seems a shame for it to sit there and not be used and no one seems to appreciated all the long term work that has been done in the last year, plus most people moan/run a mile about it being an auto when it drives fantastically - so their lose! ;)

Not to high jack my own thread, but here's the other love that's now taking up space in the garage... ;)

Ok so the love is back and the cleanup has begun, whilst the car made massive progress last year, we never got round to cleaning under the bonnet and the finer points of detailing, give a man a garage, a rainy Sunday and things like this happen...
