Sad to hear it's dead, but at least it will supply valuable spares for you and other owners.

Hope all is well up there. I know what you mean about having to clamber over stuff !
Am having a major clear out myself, soon to go will be a Scimitar Auto, 3 Montego's and my rapier trailer!

NOT the Rapier!!?? That's a surprise.

And I still owe you a visit, Mal. Tell Fiona it's nothing personal.

It's really too good too break but it's had more than it's fair share of chances to be a great car. It's on it's third replacement engine since new - 2 under warranty and one courtesy of me - a new one - which has lasted under three years and 7000 miles. The joys of the KV6!!

Suspension, interior and front wings are lovely. The sills have recently been welded and I can see that there is more to be done for the next MoT - but that won't now happen.

On to the next thing.

Yep, the Rapier!, I just don't use it enough, and at the moment, there are plenty of people looking for one, so a good chance of achieving a decent price.
I have changed its wheels for updated Mil spec ones, and managed to locate a brand new late spec vinyl cover for it, so at the moment it's over a grand sitting doing nothing.

I will likely replace it with something of a similar size, but more modern and much lighter to handle when unhitched!.

Fiona and I know how busy you can be, so no worry's on the delayed visit.

Nice to see you too. Yes, just counted them again and I think it's still...three. Although I might have miscounted. I'll check again later.

Vitesse looks like it should again now with those trims fitted Brad. Thank you.

She now holds the doors open when I walk out instead of shouting at me and I feel a whole lot happier with my ocd back in check.

Glad the old KV6 hulk was able to donate the bits you wanted.
