So just to let you know, I wrote to the previous owner who sent me a huge file of invoices and receipts. In the last 4 years he has spent over £11,000 on work on the car !!!

it drives beautiful but could do with a complete respray to get it back to perfection.

So pleased with my purchase!

Having had it inspected I am pleased not to have purchased it, however, I am now having to take the guy to court as he will not give me my £500 deposit back and will now not answer my calls, texts or emails.

I would be very grateful if anyone could give me any information about this vehicle (currently on H8BBY but being transferred back to GF51WXY) V...

Here I am loading a history of progress.
