Very pleased. Any tips you want on paint restoration/preservation, you only have to ask.

Five thousand! Don't cry me old mucker, I paid more for my big red brick R and I haven't regretted it. Some may say I was a schmuck for paying more but she is a beauty.

Despite early battery problems and an unsolvable recurring Lambda light...

How many miles, is it in good nick, got pictures etc etc?

Paid the same for mine -131K on the clock - £4995

Bought it unseen. Boy did I get lucky!

Here's to the stella :beer: - that you would have had!
