Default GAA989D 2 door Amazon coupe in Grey

I used to own the car and have many fond memories of her..

I have some old MOT's that I found whilst having a clear out which I can send to the current owner if they are of interest,

I can also fill you in with some of her history

Regards

Kieron

I know this is a hell of a thread resurrection, 17 years later, to a user who doesn't even have a profile, but Kieron if you are still out there drop me a message!

Just for reference, it's no longer grey, but it is still well loved and well used!

I don't suppose you have any information on what you did and when?

I bought her from a garage a couple of years ago but they had no paper work. I went off condition alone as I knew I was going to use it alot.

I'd love to know the history of the car.

Bare metal
Full spray in Ferrari tesarossa red
New eveything like rubber seals , calipers , exhaust , tyres 🛞 still have the chrome wheels when I was selling some said would be better on standard wheels so did that and sold to a nice chap in Peterborough still have his contact info number and email was sold at start of Covid lockdown



Kind regards

Hi Robert, this is amazing! I never thought I would get any of the history of the vehicle.

I'd love to see the full set, all the work that was done to it. I'd be more than happy to send you a link to a Dropbox or Google drive so I don't take up all your hosted storage space.

I can PM you with my email address to save everyone else on the forum but it's so nice to know people keep history and these cars get passed from custodian to custodian!

You've made my day with these images!
