...this was my car circa.2002/3 - I sold it to Dave Myers - by then it had been restored to quite a good standard the first time around - the roof section having been replaced, along with a couple of panels - I gave Dave a clutch of photo's showing the work involved when i sold him the car in Jan 2003 - Probably lost in the mist of time...
I did love this car tho' and took it on many trips, one notable trip was my Honeymoon to St,Davids in west wales - some trip from Nottingham! - it was faultless..even took it on the ferry to Rosslare from Fishgard - very enjoyable driving thru' the mountains...some 400 miles in all, never missed a beat...
I was very sad to see it in such a rotten state - I know dave did some supersonic milege in it - as I saw it down in Hathern when He lived in leics - looking very weather-worn - the car - not Dave...!
... I did think of buying it back at that stage, as it certainly needed another restoration by that point, and sentiment does sometimes get the better of you...but we moved - and I never saw it again....untill now
