This car was originally given to me second hand in '87 by my parents. I loved it to bits, literally. The car when it was retired to the shed roof space was pretty beaten up. It managed to survive the many shed clean ups of my 20's to be rediscovered in 2005.

late this year I restored it back to its original look from memory and blurry photos using as many of the original parts as possible, spot lights are the only re re bits in it, a set of RA1028's alloy covers are the only after market. Got to say I'm pretty happy with it. Hope you like it.

Nice to see these old timers still going. I think they run better with age actually

Thanks you all for your comments. Good to see other people like this colour as much as i do! I'll have to find something else to paint in it that runs cause it looks great on the move (least it does in my memory!)
