    Excellent definately interested Andy, im assuming you are keeping them until I pick up the Pegs for you? PM me with you price Andy and ill make sure I have the money.

    I forgot to mension in my excitment of finding local Volans... its a very nice car and I shall certainly be paying a visit my friend. Always loved the red ones, polished up they are one of the best colours.
