Yes, I'm in the process of giving the car an internal & external detail - which i'll get finished over the weekend hopefully & then i'll get the new photo's up and refresh the sale thread.

Shins
hope this message finds you in good form and you have finally sold your little beauty ?

thanx for all your advice re detailing. this morning I spent a couple of gentle hours practising with the clay bar, DA and some sonax cutmax on the black T5 and am blown away by the quality of finish achieved ! waiting for advice for how best to deal with deeper / thicker scratches but in time we shall get there.

so impressed that if I have the time I am considering taking off the ****ty lacquer which has peeled away on roof and bonnet as with so many cars in the pre 2000 era - and yes Harston motors did charge me £350 for supaguard as well a mere 18 years ago !!

all the best

Paul

Apologies to those who may have pm'd for info - I've had loads of enquires so thought it just simpler to list it on ebay with all the relevant info.

Cheers, Morgan

Shinsplintz 101 · Jan 9th, 2017, 18:31

No - I withdrew it - decided to dry store. It's a good car & I couldn't find the right buyer.

Cheers, Morgan
