Thanks guys and yes very lucky to find such a low milage example, just about everything I was going to look for in a blob this has so not a fantastic amount to do other than some deeper cleaning in areas as it was used through the winter plus run the polishing machine over and a coat of wax.

Stunning car fella. Much more simple with the scoop off too, especially considering it wasn't doing anything!

Good grief there's a blast from the past ! How's you Criss it's been a little while to say the least ?

Guys need a bit of info from a age owner, when you look under the rear parcel shelf is it solid ? I've got a pair of 6x9 subs fitted to mine the question is are they playing into solid metal or are there any holes under there

It's a great colour I have to agree, again a colour that changes completely in sun light and this time around a heck of a lot easier to look after :-)

How much of a difference have you noticed between the new and old ?

Gareth where on earth do you drive to altogether to wack 125 on the car

You can't compare the 2 cars they are completely different not only in the way they drive but the interior and the size of the cars... I will say I am enjoying things so far
