I thought it was a peculiar fat cat!

Has the bodywork been rattle-can resprayed by Stevie Wonder?

I hope not, apparently it had a respray at some point but is now a bit faded. I'm sure some previous owners will be along to fill in the details.

Don't look for rust! Just clean it, polish it, and drive it.
Thats a nice looking touring in the background is the owner interested in selling it?

+1 for pics of the golf clubs.

Thank you. An interesting set of the rare 1980s Wilson FragFeed model. Get them in the boot of Scott's Fiat thing and get them weighed.
