Front end looks awesome!

I had the same issue trying to pass MOT's without a cat. Pain in the arse. At least there's nothing major to fix!

Handbrake cable was a bit cap when I owned it!

I cant believe this is still alive!

I was the first owner and I owned it for 5 years I think? Went to Jay Carr then 4 other people who removed bits off it each time. Think the 2050cc XE now lives in a Nova! Think the bodywork is the only thing that has remained more or less the same.

BlaineJ you must be like the 5 or 6 owner of that car off here! How many owners are on the log book now?
