Its at the heritage motor centre, jct 12 up the M40, somewhere near warwick, it took me an hour and a half from Croydon last year but i was going some. Deff worth the trip and could arrange for some of us to meet up on route?

Here's a link to a map of where it is.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the comments :cool:

I have just used leather conditioner on all the seats so they are soft. I also polished the roof and boot, then ran out of polish!

Hows your sport Raj? You know its the one I always wanted!

Cheers for the comments :D

Raj, leave the azevs on yours i would say, they look awsome.

Yesterday i picked up a standard exhaust system from ant and drill polished it back to bare metal (no rust!), ready for replacing the aftermarket one on the car.

Also re-fitted orange repeaters and indicators since pics were taken.

Thanks.
