Cheers. smile

Paint is gunmetal metallic I think (pic isn't good) and the wheels are superb condition.
Also complete new hood 2,000 miles ago, AND carpets.

On the motorway it ran quieter than my 400SE...lovely drive. biggrin

Sound's like you got a good one, did all the electrics ever work from the factory?!

Have you got plans for it, or are you just going to enjoy it?

I'll probably leave this one as is.

Unfortunately there are issues at my workplace, so hoping this won't be a brief experience...dammit. frown

Nice one Graham! Looks like you hit the jackpot with the bargain price too! Just wish a) I had spotted it first and b) I actually had some spare dough to have bought it frown

Have fun! driving

PS. Hope the work situation isn't too serious...

Oh....shame about that Richard frown

We were in the top car park next to the pits (where YOU usually park), and then spectating down at the corner near the farm...where, to everyone else's amusement I did a backward somersault off my fold-up chair and disappeared into the gorse bushes with flailing arms and legs. lol! rofl

Glad I put on my ten layers of clothes....felt like minus five with the wind chill. brrrr.

Hooned over with a TVR S-series, BMW something 3 litre convertible sports car (all look the same to me wink) and a Mazda RX8. Hahaha they couldn't keep up with this old boy. biggrin

Catch up with you soon mate. smile
