Bugger, I thought I recognized the 'plate :(

 

He looked after it like it was his kid, It was immaculate last time I saw it, he may have sold it on before it got bumped though

If you struggle with anything during your rebuild post up in the discussion forum and you may get some help from fellow north notts, lincs members. Gadget and turbo boy have recently fitted a crash box to jons so they know what the crack is involving installing that. 

I look forward to seeing your le mans green turbo completed thumbsup

You probably dont know, but Frogman used to own/run Aviation Interiors and made those seats himself

 

If you start finding it difficult to get in/out (I did) I'm sure there will be a long queue to take them off your hands ;)

There's one in Shropshire which i have owned for a few months. I love the colour and was told that only 29 were made in Le Mans Green. Someone on here will know if that's correct.
