Oh, and make sure you take plenty of quick detailer with you, as the one draw back I expect you'll find with your added bling is that visitors to the stand will keep touching the shiny bits! I remember my fuse box cover being permanently covered in fingerprints, no matter how often I cleaned them off!

Have a great time, enjoy the weekend, and take LOTS of photos .

Yes luckily I did take a few pics of the car back when I bought it, only took them to post them up on here at the time So come in handy now for before and after comparisons.

Was great to see you both on Sunday The visitors were pretty well behaved across the 3 days, only had a few get a bit touchy with bits on the car, with one who decided to help himself open the passenger door for a better look inside when the windows were open Had to tell one guy to first stop fiddling with my wind deflector and then to get off the rear lip spoiler where he was leaning on it

Just dont understand some people's mentality, I mean they wouldn't dream to touch the Ferrari F40 in hall 1 or the e-types, cobras etc so why start touching the more modern cars.

We had an absolutely fantastic time though and really grateful for the opportunity to display the car at the show

You're not the only one, quite a few at the show who are familiar with the 75's and ZT's didn't notice it was a diesel at first

As Trikey said the battery is mean't to be disconnected whilst the car is at the show, although no one seem to enforce this as there were car alarms going off a couple times, horns being used and I was demoing my halo ring lights a few times
