I had a 1600M in metallic blue with silver band, it looked stunning. Sold it in the late 80's, reg no NVX795P. Could it be yours?.

Looks great both old drawing & your new paint job...did you have to prep the roof a fair bit as I am still not sure whether to get mine re-vinyled/ repaired or take off and paint same as body colour like you seemed to have done successfully ? (which is white with brown sunroof to match stripe)

Looking much better than it did 20years ago Chris! Is it the same colour as the Taimar you had (Dean's old car)?

The roof needs redoing as there are 1 or2 imperfections but going to leave it a couple of months to settle before it goes back in. The colour is Vauxhall Aldon blue ,nearest match I could get to my old taimar
