That is very, very nice! Looks like it's just driven out of a showroom

F reg = 1988/89.
This might be useful for the guys living outside the UK that aren't familiar with the age identifying number plate system, but keep in mind private plates can be bought from the State making a car look either older than it really is (or giving it an odd plate). I live in Essex and the number of traders/brokers here with plates worth 10x the value of the car. There's a FFRR Vogue with the plate 'T 5' or similar. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/articles/2011/...umbeplates |

That must have taken an age to finish so well. Very very nice. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

Thankyou all for the kind comments
As for taking an age to finish she is totally original apart from respray due to polishing through to bare metal. I am only the 2nd owner and the mileage is sub 20000. The engine is a factory fitted 3.5 V8 with the std twin SU carb setup. |

That looks absolutely superb, straight out of the brochure (if the brochure was photographed in Hipperholme - do I get a prize for recognising it???)
Will look out for you (and listen out too) - might need to arrange something cos I have a 10yo son with a fixation with the noise a V8 makes (god, I am so proud of him it brings a tear to my eye )

And we all know she's perfect because the wipers rest in a true Solihull way. If she'd been messed with too much that genuine feature would have been tampered with!

That is stunning! You hardly ever see original spec machines of that age anymore.
