I bet his Mrs is impressed! (well it's less hooverin for her! :o :lol: )

I remember that car, it's been plate raped since I saw it (43 TBF?) , it's unusual in that the back of the front seats are brocade, not powder blue and look original. A few dents in it when I saw it all those years ago , sad to see it's not been used.

Thought it was 43 TBF! I saw this car last at the Stoneleigh show around about 1996? It was a gorgeous car and looked extremely original - down to the silver on black reg plates.

Time flies eh?? :o :o :o :o :o

Nice big living room, though the little kids would want inside it, the teen's would park their arse's on the bonnet. The dad would be casting his paranoid eye over it the whole time.

Better in the garage outside lol

Pity in this day and age it still has the wrong sills fitted.
