Load of crap, you would be much better with a nice 1980 Cav Sportshatch, if you ask nicely I would probably be willing to do you a straight swap.

Yea nice 'garage' find to be fair. Was bought new to be used as a track plus weekend car. Owner put cage in, upgraded front brakes to ap's with alloy bells and rotors, Opel dogleg box plus other wee touches but all original stuff there to put back to standard.
Car is as straight as you could possibly want, and nothing is missing like trim etc. Plus got a load of photos over the years of her, including the day she was collect in '84 from Peeters in Belgium. Not going to covert her to rhd as it will only devalue her. Going to paint front wings as paint has came off the fibreglass and leave her as close as when she was last drove back in 1994.

Cheers for the comments, much appreciated. Feel proud to own such a car indeed. Plus being a low mileage one owner car is a nice bonus too.
