Congratulations Richard, she looks an absolute peach

I'm sure you'll have many happy miles together.

Just keep a weather eye out for celebrity chefs next time......
Cheers Giles she is all I could have hoped for and a little bit more, she is immaculate in the sense that from an engineering perspective all is "high and tight".
A polisher and concourse man would beg to differ as the "topsides" (just a respray away to me, but I won't yet awhile) has a few minor scratches and indents where things have contacted the body about 7 imperfections and thus barely a significant fact to me being from the engineering side I am a fussy bu--er too so they are imperfections only.
This one like all my others will be driven all year round other than salt and hosed down and dried after runs.
I have decided to invest in a meaningful dehumidifier for the garage + sealing the door surrounds and partition in the apex as it is a shared roof space, bit of sterling board probably, well several sheets of it actually.
This car will be my "keeper" until I can no longer gain ingress or egress, then it will be time for the family to enjoy it and I shall have to put on a very brave head that day.
Of course as Giles suggests we unfortunately have about 110 so called celebrity chefs in the West Country - 5 of which are within a 8mile radii of my humble abode so whilst I'm busy making my future plans the hand of God may yet again intervene and some other a--ehole incomer will bear down upon me relentlessly in his brat remover.....
Have a good day all I am off on the Moors now, this early retirement stuff is good
