Toyota Celica GT4 gen 4- 2nd car running resto Rover 75 2.5 V6- and so the love began, kept this car for 5 years Toyota MKIV Supra NA- 2nd car Toyota MKIV Supra TT- 2nd car and had this car for 9 years Rover 75 2.0 Contemporary MGZT 2.5 V6 3rd car project, scrapped by me because of unsafe body repairs MGZT 190 plus 3rd car and restoration Mercedes C250 AMG line Mercedes C250 AMG premium plus.
