The 2.8 I had when I joined this forum
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305123955175 ... R4iwv-PTYg
Still looks good. At the time mostly original paintwork, so due to the age most panels had blemishes (Patina)
Not sure what's going on with the battery

Looks great!
Does it come with the "Look but don't touch" sign?

Found it

Still think this would a been a good car to keep, but being active with the XR owners it makes sense to have an XR so no real regrets
As for the sign I don't think I was using back then, but I have 2 now front and rear

Ooops
I remember that, it was Paignton seafront April 2015, I wheelspun in reverse as ground was abit damp so some mud was spread around a little, also quite a windy day if I recall ended up with windrash
The other pic from same show is of the rear before the Janspeeds were fitted and is in the link I put up.
If still original I reckon that will make over £30k, as won't be many left now that haven't seen panels and paint!

I think you are spot on there. It certainly still looks good in the photos and the mileage is very low.
Look who was first in line to welcome you to the forum...

I ve just checked and I've been on here for over 8 years. Where does the time go? Mind you Andy you're on 8000 posts and I'm somewhat lagging on 1800!
