I thought you weren't too far from Telford yourself now Steve? Also i beleive Tim (White Lion) is somewhere close to Telford?

Not sure if it's my eyesight, my laptop or perhaps just the photos but the front wings and bonnet look a different shade to the rest of the body. Can anyone else see it?
Cheers,
Dave

Yup I thought the same with the wings, looks a cracking car though.

According to her indoors 50 shades of grey is ok but for me two many shades of silver. I would guess these have been done will rattle cans over the years to either sort out laqueur peel or rust.

Certainly not beyond redemption.

Your right Dave it's not that far from me but it is trying to find the time to get there was why I was asking.

Ah-ha! The dreaded lack of time Steve! Gets to us all.

Like Gaz said though, even with the slightly dodgy coloured front end, it's still a good looking car.
Cheers,
Dave

the rear quarters round the arch to the back rear quarter light look darker as well, i wonder if something is reflecting different shades in the photo, worth breaking though, il take the bumpers, boot lid , doors, carpet, interior, some other bits n bobs, and the rest you can turn into kitee kat tins, damn povvo spec 2 litre.

Perhaps it's had new doors or paint on the doors in that case?
If it's purely cosmetic then it's worth saving as there aren't many around, however if it's rotten as a 9 day old curry then it would provide a lot of useful bits that are poverty spec specific to help keep the truly nice poverty spec cars going.

Remember gents, even the professionals find it very difficult to match silver paint.

So right Richard. I had my bonnet on my saab 95 resprayed 3 times by an accident repairer because of the poor match or patchy paint.
