Looking very smart and the work you've put in has brought the car along leaps and bounds, when's the Grantham meet? It's not too bad a run for me from here might pop along for a nosey..

It's on the 22nd of this month fella, there Link on here, T5D5 & Voc. Need to get your name down if you want lunch

Hi i would like to know what you used on the drivers seat as it looks a very good job thanks

I use gliptone to clean & feed, leather clinic colour dye - got black & a light grey then blended them until I was happy before applying. All on the bay. About £20 worth. Cheers, Morgan

Bit of an update......

I've had a fair bit of interest in the car after I mentioned that I'd be letting it go, a few offers etc.... however, this morning a very nice fella made the trip down from Brum to test drive the car, loved it & has made me a solid offer. So pending the deposit the car is now SOLD!!

It will be a few weeks before it changes hands as I've got to wait for the plate transfer (the private plate is going on my red) so I'll still be taking it along to Grantham & I've got a few minor bits to finish prior to handing it on but very pleased. Really enthusiastic fella & I'm confident the car will be going to a good home.

Cheers, Morgan

Not surprised this has sold already and it's great to hear it's going to a good home, there aren't enough of these grey saloons left to be pulled apart or abused.

That's it......car now gone to new owner...confident that he'll continue to flourish some tlc on the old beast now that's its back on the road. Got a couple of project s lined up so will be seeing a few more threads like this one in the near future. Thanks for taking the time to follow this one, all the best, Morgan
