We're all going on a Summer holiday...
(Australia, +30degC, smell of fuel, hot rubber and ozone from the fresh rust)

I cant put the orginals back on it because someone had the arches widened to fit the 17s.... notice the rear arch is right up to the swage line far from where it is originally. When i have it restored next year (new interior and paint) im having a set of reproduction Dunlop alloys made for it in 16s.

Couldnt get tyres with the right rating for the power in the original 15 inch size either

Not many cars would I consider swapping my 928GTS for, but I have a secret passion for these since my mum had a series 3 saloon.

yup and the coupe is 1000 times rarer. Approx 50 on the road in the UK and about 350 worldwide

Love the car and colour scheme, assume early seventies Detroit stuff. Peugeot was nice too.
Some great cars recently!

I know only one is a classic, but most of the rest have their DNA well in the past.

Many happy memories of family holidays in France in the family Hilman Avenger towing a Conway trailer tent in the mid '70's. Ours was a two door in yellow with the half vinyl roof, as a car mad 10 year old I thought was super cool!
