mk1 in stansted

Post by ksclark3522 » Sun Dec 11, 2011 1:46 pm

spotted a grey mk1 fastback in stansted this afternoon, if i had to put money down i'd guess it was a fairly basic 820 like mine. exchanged a quick wave with the lady that was driving it, although i was driving an sd1 at the time. nice to see one in the wild, very unusual to see a mk1 round here.

Hasn't Kate got a lowish spec grey XX fastback? And isn't she London/Essex area?

Cripes spotted at last.

Good to see an SD1 still earning its keep all year round.

Kate :D

can't be doing with all this "sorn it, garage it, and drive something boring" mentality when winter comes, all mine are on the road all year. they don't like sitting about for six months at a time.

Can't say I've ever seen a 800 with significant floor rot, the only thing that seems to rust is the outer sill, rear arches start eventually but usually from the outside so can be cleaned up and painted. Other than that it's just the bolt on panels.

I've seen boot floors go but that's all floor wise.
