Steve,Yes it was a great car, the mark 2 version with the Getrag 5 speed gearbox.
Zoe, It looks like it could be my old car as mid blue was a rare colour. When I had the car it had magnesium Minilites. Sold it 23 years ago, it was in decent condition.

would love to try ace next weekend, but seriously not sure if car would make it for its first major journey.... plus its still a wreck....lol

as for the tr snobbery, yeah its very easy to spot, and stoneleigh was a poor place for 7 parts, robsport are brilliant tho, phoned for a few bits last week on my dinnerbreak and they were in house by time i got home the following day......and they are so helpful on phone, need a centre box, second hand for now just to replace the straight pipe the previous numpty who had the car fitted, they had one but as it rattled a bit inside was told would not sell it, i bet other people would of just chucked it in the post to me...

the project at birth, watch it evolve...I hope...
