Great photo Ken
I notice you have a modified ? switch panel or were the late +8's always like that


The previous owner, who had the car from new, had a new bespoke switch panel made up with the toggle switches and warning lights in 2011 - he had a lot of things changed around then including a complete JE Engineering engine rebuild that pumped the bhp up to 245bhp (from about 200 as standard). He also changed the suspension to cope with the higher torque - fun car to drive, if a little noisy! I have changed the front suspension to the Rutherford set up -- much improved the ride! Going to have the silencers repacked in next couple of weeks to see if that tones down the exhaust resonance at around 65 - 70mph that plays havoc with my tinnitus for a day or so after a long run! (Also might tone down the pointed comments from the navigator about making our presence known!)
