These rims and Koni's on each corner have transformed this model's handling significantly over my previous 1994 Plus 8.

This is the look I like for a Plus 8 - meaningful IMHO.

I have already removed the climbing frame off the spare wheel.

The next things to be replaced with ultra low profile LED units are the Rear Fog and Reverse lamps, the existing square ones which aesthetically are a bad dream in my HO.

No front fog lamps or holes, no badge bar, this is my kind of car.

Once I've fitted the Aeroscreens and removed the windscreen I will post some pictures of my new girl...

She is in immaculate condition having resided in a London Village heated Mews, 21,000miles and original order and bills for everything during her life.

This is her prior to sale....

Congratulations, enjoy

wine cheers wine


Thanks Pete - It was a close run thing between Asbo's lovely car and the burble of the twin pipes howling away on full throttle and alternately popping away on over run.
The excellent condition of this car means that it will remain in my possession for as long as I have mobility, at which stage my Son and Daughters will inherit it as long as they promise to use it and not waste too much time polishing her.

Put 500 miles on her since picking her up Thursday lunchtime at Harpers so I'm enjoying her ok wink

"It's the keeper"

We shall have to meet up Pete sometime soon, I'm tied up this Saturday with ringing at a wedding in Harberton + Sunday morning a bit more ringing.

The weekend after we have a Church Tower open day on the Saturday and folk can have access to the top of the tower which affords a spectacular view / photographic opportunity of Blackpool Sands, Start Bay and Slapton etc.
Essentially it's a fund raise as we need 100K's worth of restorative work in the Belfry or we stop ringing.

Red Bull Air Race on the 17th August and that's all so I will leave it to you Pete to chose.
woohoo love
