Sadly I don’t know where he is. I purchased the car from the guy who was doing the work on it.

She is going to take a lot of time effort and money. But as we think it’s the only one of this colour combo / spec left the old girl is worth it. Sadly some of her early original bits are missing but I will source good replacements.

Hi Josh.
What sort of condition is it in now, i have just read the other thread, from when it was on the trailer in 2018 then seen 2020 photos from FB how did it get into that state ?

This is my thread on the restoration of the old lady.

I’m not sure what has really happened over the years apart from the carpet was swimming due to te sunroof leaking or being left open. So the interior was stripped and other parts were damaged.

Having seen first hand the state of this when Josh took delivery of it I am amazed not only how it has turned out but also the time frame, a real credit to the man.

Well done ,it looks lovely. I am amazed you have got it MOT and sorted out so quickly i didn't realise you were at this stage. Hope to see it at some of the rallies. Well done again its a credit to all your work.

Well done Josh, great to see she's back on the road. My '02 diesel isn't far off, all the work is done for the mot, just the water pump to finish.

Well done Josh... Moonstone is a lovely colour, but that Aubergine Personal Line interior is awesome, and complements the green so well. Hope to see her in the metal one day.
