I thought I would share my baby. Just spent 18 months restoring . New hood, carpets, full wheel refurb and replaced all plastic wood trim with real wood. Full electrical upgrade. Tidied under the bonnet. Goes like a steam train. What do you think ?

Hi juliam

WOW! What a good looking car. It looks like new - beautiful - Has she had a respray too? A real labour of love. Well done.

I'm looking for a V8S your photographs have spurred me on in my search.

Do you have some photographs of the engine. I bet that looks as good too.

Looks excellent, you have made a great job of the restoration.
Optical illusion, thought it was left hand drive and with the sunshine imagined you were based across the pond, but your profile states Buckinghamshire......UK. Maybe see you around. !
And Welcome to the S forum.

Thanks for the photograph of the engine bay - nice to see that you have left things more or less as standard - I like originality.
