Yes Steve, still had the original supplying dealer sticker in the rear window. Probably never been off the island (rather like a lot of the people that are born here).
Must have been a show nearby today as I saw a green Riley Farina...either a 4/68 or 72
followed a few cars later by a Triumph Renown and then a Mustang (Bullet style) in the Shelby white and blue stripe scheme....
I'd have the Riley for sentimental reasons...being sad like that.
Anyone else would have had the Mustang.

Note from Admin: sadly Jon passed away in February 2018 but his humour and wealth of knowledge will be fondly remembered by all. RIP Jonners.
Came across this Sprint yesterday afternoon in the car park of my local shops. Couldn't resist the photo opportunity. It turned out to be owned by a nice old chap from Eccles (near Rochester) who was happy to spend a couple of minutes chatting about our cars. He bought it in 2009.
