Looking good
 It's going quickly although I know you won't think that  The end is in sight!
A friend of mine bought a two owner white 110 V8 model last year for 4K and it only has about 45,000 miles on the clock. It's in lovely condition apart from the bottom of the doors are just beginning to bubble  Bargain I reckon, sounds lurvely |
