I bought this 18 months ago and it has sat in my garage ever since, really. I haven't got a thread on here for this car yet so I thought I would start one.
I have repaired the dodgy electric windows with new switchpacks, resoldered fuse box and some lube. I have done the routine stuff - coolant change, oil etc - and it failed the MoT today on a split cv boot.
This car will be fixed overnight and taxed from tomorrow. Next on the list - clean and feed seats, polish and wax, rustproof the original virgin sills and arches, change the number plates.
More pics to follow.

How true.
I intend getting the belts and gaskets changed as a matter of course in the first big step of preventative maintenance.

Thanks Graeme.
It does drive like a dream - arrow straight and very smooth.
A huge bonus is that the car is almost rust free. Sills and arches look like they did when the car was new.
A keeper.

Yes. But so far, so good. I am prepared to spend out on this one, though.
