Here is a little history from memory if anyone is interested.
A Doctor in Scotland bought it new (somewhere near Perth I think), it and had it I think till around 2000, did 70k or so in it. Sold it with a bad repair to the driver side rear 1/4 panel and a mkii drivers door. 2nd owners also in Scotland, new Glasgow had it after that. He had the rear 1/4 panel fixed badly again, a sill welded and a new clutch just before i bought it for £5,000. It has a set of silver steel winter wheels and some replica gold (prima maybe?) wheels on it. Eventually I replaced the door with an original off a car being broken as the mismatch replacement one was rusty, and a mismatch. I had both 1/4 panels and sills redone properly and managed to locate the original wheels with the dome centre caps (5 including the spare), which were still with the original owner, behind his shed. I had them properly restored, matching the original colour and with the machined silver lip. From memory i also repaired the parcel shelf with the suit carrier in it and put a new boot lid on it because the original was rusty along the bottom edge. it was probably in the high 120k miles when I sold it. Glad to see it's still going. The guy that bought it from me did quite a bit of bodywork and put a load of money into it but I guess didn't keep it long. I'll see if I can find some pictures. There is one from where I randomly met 0288 near Guildford and some nice ones in the Scottish highlands.
