Hi Ray, well you`ve gone and done it then

, i must say she still looks pretty good 8)

, the paintwork has held up well considering i painted that at least 11 years ago, as you know she was originally Blaze but i thought Bronze Yellow would look good as there were already a couple of Blaze ones in the club at the time, i reckon with a black hood it will look the dogs bo**ocks mate

8)

well done, it will be nice to see the old girl finally finished.
Frank.

talking to 3 previous owners, as far as i can gather it must be pushing 10 years. The body is still in great condition under the bonnet and below the car is mint a well done job with all those concerned with it.

I rememeber see the convertable about 5 years ago at the Resotoration show. Looked fairly complete then. What was the other one you saw then?

looks like a very solid car - just a bit neglected. must be worth it as it even comes with spare points !!

Think he only wanted to sell one or the other. as Frank will tell you Jan, that one is a real basket case, as the shell has twisted.. Needs putting on a jig to put it rite..

It's not for me anyway (too many projects ongoing and not enough finished cars to enjoy...)
Anyway the car hopefully will be saved as it IS the prototype,.... Don't think i'm going to do up another after i've finished the one i'm doing - it's just too bl...dy expensive
