Another early touring registered in April 1988. I'm guessing it was built in march which is first when production first started on RHD tourings.

a couple of cans of spray on gunk for the engine bay then blast it off with a power washer. Well worth the 6 or 7 quid investment.

Nice work - Shiny heatshield looks great - I couldn't be bothered to clean mine up like that when I had it all to bits recently - wish I had now :mad:
