Just had to do it. Another pre-cat arriving tomorrow.

[FactBV]

Bit the bullet and bought another pre-cat today. I am sure someone said 'I need that noise in my life' which just about sums it up. Its 4.0 and will be different to the 4.3 BV but in Mica blue with OZ wheels and a cream interior it is just what I was looking for. I have a few things to sort, the heater blower is not working and the off side exhaust manifold has a crack in it, so some decisions to be made there.

Glad to be back in the Griffith fold and will be at the growl again this year. First picture attached, more to follow.

One more here, and another to follow as it would be in excess of the 2MB limit.

You are right it is very similar and I did call about that one but as you say it is different.............and a few grand less!

Gotcha, part of Kerridges price will be down to OZ refurb, car belonged to a friend who does not visit here, Ta.

Very nice! I looked at that one in October when it was at James Agger's. I bought the other pre-cat he had instead - I couldn't bear the thought of cleaning those wheels!! (Mine has the Gotti 5-spokes)

Still think it is great how strong the pre-cat following is....

[Russell Mc]

Very nice indeed.

There is a pair of brand new manifolds on eBay.

Lovely, lovely, lovely pre-cat.

Its funny that, I saw your post and that you had chosen the other one. Anyway, I didn't have the chance to get up there and another guy bought it, but didn't like it and apparently traded it in for a Porsche Boxster!!! Everyone to their own.

I had the 5 spokes on the BV and they look great but for some reason I have always thought that the OZ wheels just suited the car, especially against the dark colours....but your are right about cleaning.

The Kerridges' one looked a really nice car and I called the day the advert went up, but there was a little damage to the paint at the rear and the wheels did have some corrosion and needed a refurb. However the guy told me that they were not going to do it as someone would want it original, not sure about that. Also, as it would have been a long drive to view the car I asked if they could send me some good quality images but they said that they didn't have a very good camera and blah blah etc! Given the price, I left them to it.

Its a shame, they are in mild steel.

Very nice. Top colour too

Those manifolds in your profile picture look very nice. maybe you should treat yourself to another pair.

It's tempting but I see that they are now £1200 plus fitting if you don't do it yourself. Could be getting on for £1500 with some difficult studs seized in.

Just read that but I meant that the one I bought was a few grand less.............its getting late.
