As for the debate on OVP, whenever repairs and/or restoration are required on any other car, after many views are aired the conclusion is nearly always:
Perhaps we should be considering why these principles don't seem to apply to Christopher and OVP? Simon

The 75 is with space saver as last I drove down to Soton I spotted a rather dangerous looking "crack" in the tyre and took wheel off as a precaution still need the cash to buy to fronts. As for their state of unwash ... with 4 cars on the road, all needing bits done to them, my working 100 hour weeks and away more often than not I just don't have the time ... you should see my ZT which is my work horse, almost 250,000 miles and a joy to drive with all its 190+ I do have plans to get ovp sprayed up I've been slowly doing all the little niggly bits (still have a faulty fuel gauge I can't get to the bottom of!) My F, on the other hand, is under the car port washed and covered. 1 out of 5 isn't too bad!

Indeed, that video is one in a series of four and OVP pops up a few times in them, I have gathered together all the appearances as well as her featuring roles as a police car in Silent Witness, Murphy’s Law, New Tricks and Ultimate Force.
The car is very much being spruced up as we speak at long last, and in the next couple of months I’m aiming to give folk a rather nice update on her restoration |
