Very nice. I am a sucker for a tight rear end. What’s the story, had the car long?

I must add that it had been siting in the shed in bits for the last 15 year before he died with no engine,brakes,wiring or exhaust etc. t..Image. Imageand We put it back together in a week to take it to his funeral... and since that it has had some major upgradesImage the first photo was the day we bought it home and the second was on the day of Leon’s funeral

That is a very moving story. Makes the car all the more impressive.

That's a nice looking ride, Gledge, and nice that it has a special meaning to you and those close to Leon.

Cheers,

John

The light grey is seagull grey and the darker is just something we made up years ago
