\'cos I\'m a spanner, I only just noticed it\'s in Spain...ah well, a bit rich anyway

[captainbizzaro]

It\'s a good job that is in Spain, I like that alot.

[David Nock (RIP)]

That looks nice!

Fairly easy to get hold of as well. Price £3200. Not too strong for an Elford? - if it\'s as good as it says it is.
LHD though. Fine if you go continenting from time to time.

I normally love 2 tone pant jobs, I was even considering painting rexanne two tone but that doesn\'t quite work for me! Looks clean though.

nice car... shame it\'s a left hooker. ( for us that is, our friends on the continent would love it)

2 tone paint jobs don\'t do it for me, the only one I\'ve ever seen that looks right is the gradiented paint job on Johns blue Elford and that looks gorgeous but cars with a distinct 2 tone split above and below the rubbing strip... nah.

Seems like a good car for the price,but i\'m not a fan of 2 tone paint jobs either!

Might be a repeat but anyone seen this before?

Yes, As above, that one\'s been advertised earlier this year. It\'s in Fife (Kelty).

Hasn\'t it been QUIET on here - for last 2 months really. Next-to-no cars for sale for ages.

So I\'ve busied myself by updating 1st Gens to show winter runners. Latest Figures are:-

.........................ROAD/TRACK.........SORN/PROJECT........UNKNOWN

Series 3.......................38........................ 97.........................15

Series 2........................24....................... .43..........................8

Series 1.........................5....................... ..14..........................6

The biggest change is in the S3\'s where about 9 cars have gone to SORN from runners.....verious things I guess like simple bad weather to winter projects starting up.

[Ian65]

Yeah, it was quiet on here  this time last year but I think this years freezing  weather has put most things on stop.
The ice and snow came the week after I dropped the engine back in my car and I\'ve hardly been outside or in the garage since.
I\'ve put it on sorn and I\'ll have another play with it when the weather finally picks up.
