That's an excellent end to this story! Very happy for you, let us know what it's like compared to the memories when you finally get it home and have enjoyed a drive.

I had not realised how pretty the 1800 is. I may look at buying one.

Time to update this link

The restoration seems very promising, enjoy the car. Time to create new memories in it.

I'm very keen on family history so I'm well chuffed this worked out for you. Got me wondering if I could find my Granda's 73 Triumph Toledo now - doubt it would've survived much longer than 1985 though. Come to think of it, he had a Cortina before that, which I never saw, could be more likely ...
