Ooh that's a tidy interior. If the rest of it's that good you've got a really nice car.

She's a minter!

Keep the sun off the top of that back seat Missus, else it will go all flaky and faded.

Some of the window rubbers (especially the quarterlights) are NLA, which I didn't know until I shredded them while removing the glass for a respray. :oops:

There are a couple of easy things that can be done to improve handling without wrecking the ride quality. I'd go for changing the bushes over to polyurethane first ( http://www.chriswitor.com is a good place for these) which will make everything feel a bit more "tight".

After that, adding the anti-roll bars that were fitted to the higher models will be worthwhile.
