Thanks for the comments. And it is the car as described in the link from Skapinad (Adam). E-bay 2009

The spoiler has been repainted and the exhaust changed and it is running. The things goes really well.

Collo, my RedLJ is currently under negotiation so it may well be sold. my Gold 4 door has also moved on.

Any further info on the new car would be appreciated.

regards
Pete.

The car now resides in Toranafestville!!!!!!!!! ..........NEWCASTLE

I am not a big fan of the little tory's but that combo is about as nice as they get. I'd be more than happy with that sitting in my shed. Lucky bugger!
