And this shows where it now lives with it's stablemate:
Can just about get comfortable clearance to open drivers' doors to check strap point by topping and tailing them - the eagle eyed will probably be able to spot the strategically positioned floormats/lino used to get positioning just right!

Nightfire does look nice on a MK1.
Nice garage space you have there too.

Cheers, took hours to clear it out and make it car-ready. Amazing the crap people leave around...

You'll be spending a lot of time on ebay listing said crap then!
That's a nice garage in several ways, not least because it has two 800s sat inside!

Thanks very much guys
Just walked past them in the dark with low level artificial light, hope the camera captures the depth and travel in the nightfire here, I'd say it's slightly more zingier in the flesh (maybe its just my screen, yours might be better):
