Nice car for its age, really well looked after example, a real credit to its previous and current owner.
You want to get a really high gloss on that paintwork? use Zymol original formula
cleaner wax, imo the best money can buy.
i have used Zymol on my V40 and the BMW I owned previously and they really glow.

Not at the moment Jeff . To be honest I havnt had much time to clean the inside , it just needs a good vacuum .

Ian with his work and other comittments lately didnt have time to do it . Once the inside is done I will post a picture .

hmm jeff you should be ok, i bought a panasonic lumix TZ1 as a camera to start getting me into proper photography and im doing better than my dad who has a nikon DSLR

the best pics i have taken so far were done reasonably well by my panasonic, it is only let down by the fact ot doesnt have a viewfinder and the large lcd isnt always easy to see in sunlight even with its brighter function. but with some reasonable composure and my limited knowlege of what manual settings to adjust i get some pretty good pics out of it:


but be warned they say the camera never lies well that pic makes my glt actually look good buts its not, i just made it look as if it was a lovelly example ill let you be the judge of my car/ camera/ photographic skills

oh and btw saloon looking good mike, all i must say is it needs a leather interior
