    The C70 photo thread.

    I attended the Yorkshire meet last Sunday and found it funny that my C70 didn't appear in any of the close up meet pics. So here she is, just washed and looking good. Please add your C70 pics...........

    Sorry mate, I've looked back over the pics I took and can't find your car in a picture on its own, must say it did look good in the flesh though.

    Looks very nice to me as well. Let's say that the C70 is an acquired taste, and that Stribo, you and me have that taste!!

    Graham, no worries and it did make me chuckle TBH. The car was filthy and not at her best, but I do think that the C70 is often overlooked. It is a fantastic model and a beautiful shape. I will always have a C70 in my life after having this one................

    That was the one I had my eye on. I wish funds would allow. I'd keep it stock.

    If it wasn't for the cost of insurance, it would be gone already as that was the only thing stopping my mrs getting it lol
