so i got this a few months ago looking very sorry for its self.





but after some love its back on its feet

[benters]

good effort. . . not crazy about the wheels, but good to see a car receive some love.

[hoppo4.2]

not may favourite wheels if I was keeping it long term I would get a nice set of originals

[thatguy11]

Looks fantastic, but lordy those wheels need to come off!

[AyBee]

Don't like the wheels I'm afraid but the rest looks great Is the interior brown, as per the first photos, or red?

[tobinen]

Same here; lovely car but the wheels need to go. I like the leather colour, not seen that before.

[hoppo4.2]

It's a dark cherry red. Yeah yeah the wheels suck I no

[dbdb]

Not keen on the wheels either - but a lovely car nonetheless. The interior colour is marvellous - and really works with the white paint.

[cat with a hat]

yep, wheels are awful but the rest look great.

[mattman]

Paint the wheels silver would be a big improvement. Bargain motors - has it cost much to get it to the current state?

[hoppo4.2]

Tons of stuff didn't work but most was fuses or bad connections. Tge worst bit was that it had tge rare option of active damping suspension which was not working. Turned out to be an acceleration sensor. No big deal until you realise that it's over £850 plus vat.

So a full set of shocks and springs we're tge biggest cost but less than half the cost of the sensor.

Other than that just a few hours with tge polishing mop.

That is one fantastic looking interior!
Agree that the wheels don't look the hreatest, but I think respraying them.silver and fitting some spacers to stop them being lost in the arches so much would really help.

Nice but please change those wheels.
