If I did ever decide to let LJW go, it would have to have been for a very good reason such as being written off in an RTA or a major MOT failure, or major rust. We won't go there for now and neither should OVP

Nicely put philip

I saw this car on the A34, just north of winchester this evening, looked to be minus its grille, made it look like an uncared for dog.

So the restoration is going well then?

I'd buy and restore it

If it needs a home!

Its a shame to hear that it is not getting the full treatment it deserves. Did it still have the blue front bumper?

It would be nice to get an update on this car, good or bad, from the owner. Im not surprised people have lost interest!

If this is a car bought and got going with club money, surely we deserve at least to have an update. If not, then I dont see why the hype about the club buying it, if its owned and bought by a private member.

That would be one option, but only if he was willing to sell it.

I feel the same, it is very frustrating to hear about the club car still looking in an uncared for situation.

As an S Reg owner myself it takes dedication time and money to keep these cars on the road and in good condition. The best compliment I have had was at the 13th national, when a fellow member said to me that it was difficult to tell mine apart from any other R75 there.

OVP is wip at the moment , we are trying to get a decent cost to have the vehicle repainted and is currently used daily so is not sitting idle rotting away.
