Hi Simon. This was on ebay last week? Decent looking car. I'm sure we would all forgive you for posting a pic. Rich.

Rich well spotted! it was,and it will be in my garage at the weekend! havent got any pics other than ebay ones,plus i dont want to upset rob :wink: it has a few too many mods to go stock,1641 twin 40s,welded box,narrowed beam but its one of the cleanest cars around so im happy just wondered if anyone else had seen it/owned it in a past life
