Yep, we still have it - 11th year of ownership. A dry weather only car now. Sorned at the moment and on battery conditioner life support, but as the sun's just around the corner, we'll have to get it taxed soon!

Was Flame Red up until full restoration in 2000 although was originally Bedouin from the factory in 1971. Still building a history file during which time I hope to find out when it changed to Red.

I've had one or two. Starting with the green F, then a gold F, then a grey TF160, a ZT-T 180, and my current, Sienna gold F.
