Re: Colour ID req.

That looks like it could be it! The VDP was on it's original paint and in need of some (but not that much!) TLC but I reckon that's about right... Tempting as it's good to see a VDP in anything other than white or brown - and 'right' would make an eyecatching and unusual motor

Colour ID req.

Slightly off-topic but I've potentially been offered a low mileage Allegro Vanden Plas from a guy I worked with 15 years ago. It's been laid up since then and he's lost interest.

My 1977 25K 1.8 Special Automatic Saloon

Had this 5 years, all spent in dry storage, MOT'd her last week on her 30th birthday
Bought through eBay in 2002, it's only done 25K from new, the interior is mint, the exterior is tidy. Had thought I needed an exhaust, but it was only blowing due to the clamp to the manifold being badly fitted - a ...
