    Looks ok in the pictures on the advert, as said seems to have been slightly restored or looked after as it has got a clean bright look to it.

    Engine bay pictures are a little strange I wonder if it's a trader selling the car now?

    " This car is a 'one off' ".....I'm glad the previous owner was a 'one off'.

    TBH though, I miss Stainesy purely for the entertainment !!

    £425 for a gearbox? And those other prices! Think some of those have been exaggerated a bit, either that or he was not very good at shopping around.
