Afternoon all! Hope you're having a good sunny day!

I decided to do the first polish of the year today, Ended up taking a lot longer than planned! I dare say its the longest polish I've ever done, took about 3 hours. Totally worth it! However, all I'm doing this afternoon is going to work, so thought I'd put some pictures on here for a more appreciative crowd for her!

Looks gleamingly good

Did you buy this from a chatty Jewish lady in central London or does one figure in its history?
I'm sure I've worked on this car in the past....seeing it in pics like that.

HQentity , sorry your car looks great

Very nice indeed! There is nothing more surprisingly time consuming than a full on assault with all the polishes and cleaners. When you take a step back though, with your arm fair dangling out of it's socket from all of the buffing, and walk past your labours with an idle flick here and there at a missed bit or two, the pride felt at the gleaming masterpiece left behind is hard to beat.

Heya! Thanks for all the lovely comments!

From what know the car started off its life belonging to an 'Edward Cook' in Orpington. The last piece of paperwork with his name on it dates May 28th 1999, then a few years later the car was assessed by 'Mike Last'. After that assessment, all paperwork was in the name of 'Paul Halden' of Wadhurst. At some point in 2009 the car went to Tunbridge wells, to a 'Neil Gardner'. He sold the car to 'James Sturgeon' in Bristol 2011-13 and I bought it off him last year. Do any of those names ring any bells for anyone out there?

Good luck for the MOT!!

James is the only one known to me. I can't remember his forum name.
