Hi Guys,
 
Last year I have bought a 1981 FB. It\'s one of the first series 2 on the Dutch market. This one was used for tests in magazines.
 
This is how I bought it:

Looks like you have the alloys in the shape of a rotor, we dont see many of those over here and air-con.
Looking good mate.

Thanks all!
 
@Keith, do You mean these wheels? They are very common around here.

By the way Clive, the car isn\'t in such a great condition as it looks like on the pics.:(
But it\'s streetlegal and has (Dutch) MOT as well.
 
There is some bodywork that\'s need to be done, and I like to get it total resprayed. But that will take a couple of years I guess...
