Love this pic!

Like Joolz once said, the best looking cerb he's ever laid eyes on (way back then)....

These Toora wheels do the car a lot of justice!



Love this pic! Can anyone get a high res one??? I got a space left in the living room to put this up!

Lets face it, anyone who bids 11K plus for a car like this without first doing an HPI needs their head examined.

if they said it was the best looking cerby they had ever laid eyes on when mike owned it THEY SHOULD SEE IT NOW, far superior paint job and a few more little ;TWEEKS; the photoe of the rear light was taken when damaged which was superficial andNOT STRUCTUAL ive seen lots worse WITH structual dammage in places like hexan and other main dealers getting repaired under insurance, and more work in some neadlight conversions, all the other photoes are post dammage,every fixture and fitting inc glass was striped for the paint job ,and all painted inside and out. only nieve ignarent people condem dammage repaired cars, technicaly ALL damaged cerbs MUST be shell changed not cut and lumps grafted on.
and any car can be taken off a register for a small fee and examination. the car is clear of all h.p. I DO NOT DO CREDIT,STORE CARDS OR LOANS,there for greedy mugs, what i wear is what i own not the banks .
