Evening folks, further to my posts last week looking for advice and the subsequent placement of a deposit (Thursday last week) all is pretty much in place and I'm picking the car up either late tomorrow or (more likely) on Wednesday.. With fresh MOT smile

It really does feel quite special to post here as an (almost) owner....

Here's a piccie from the advert (I'll take more when I get her home)... Some of you may recognise this particular Vantage.. wink

Hi guys picked her up on Tuesday got home Wednesday, still learning what all the buttons do.... She wouldn't start yesterday although the engine was spinning over well.... found the battery and hooked my charger up, less than an hour later she burst into life smile

Having the odd problem snicking it into first, but I think that's a practice thing.... Driving experience is brilliant, and the interior is just a lovely place to be... I'll take some piccies of the interior today, it's a dark gray with red inserts smile

Oh, and fuse 22 appears to be missing biggrin

Here's a piccie of her under the carport... Hoping she'll fit in the garage... scratchchin

There is something spookily familiar about that car.... congratulations! The noise cloud9

I found that once I had the rear flanks through the garage apeture, I folded in the mirrors and kept the wheel straight - all was well and good. You'll find if you spend ANY time in it messing with the gubbins without the engine running it will kills the battery.
Thanks Kris, and, car is a credit to its previous owners biggrin
