Ghia Pinstripes

Was it only in the last year or so that Mk3 Ghias had the side pinstripes? My X reg 81 Ghia I had years ago did, and looking at some brochures it kinda looks like the slightly earlier Ghias did not. Anyone know when they started Pinstriping Mk3Ghias? Thank You. Hope we are all well.

Re: Another Scam?

Not sure how these scam ads work, surely if paypal is involved, the buyer is always protected? If invoiced and payed through paypal id assume so yes (you'd hope so anyway) but i cant see the seller agreeing to anything to do with paypal - it will be a bank transfer job he or she will be after then ...

Re: An item that has been previously used

Quite agree, I've always like indoor ones although nothing beats a nice outdoor one on grass in a nice setting on a nice sunny day, however the weather seems to be ever increasingly inclement these years so we may see more indoor shows. Im still a fair weather user though, mine doesn't come out in t...

Re: Another Scam?

Hi, I feel sorry for the legitimate owner of the car. It can't be a very nice feeling when you discover your car is used in a scam advert such as this. Andrew. I have to agree completely Andrew - so disheartening for them and lets just hope it doesn't put them off the hobby and the scene. Always th...

I know it's really sad looking back on it, each one of those cars is a rarity now and worth a pretty penny!

Re: Best Way to Refurbish Rubber Mats??

Many sincere thanks for the reply I really appreciate that: always best to speak to someone who has used the products! I see what you mean about the plasticity: hadn't thought of that! I'll try the Autoglym on an old scabby mat then see how we fare! Hope you are well.

Kind Regards
