I cant see who the original supplier was, its not indicated in the service book but the first service was dome by Clarks of Kidderminster. Then Crowel in Worcester, then Dudley. After that it looks like it spent most of it life so far in Crowel because there are receipts from MJ Palmer &Son garage up to 2012.

The last MOT was done in Dunoon

AX was originally registered at the Ipswich DVLA office.

Work done so far on the Shooting Brake;

Replaced the Light Oak Dash with a Rhodium Dash. It looks great, matching the XPower Grey and it also looks fab sitting next to the Smokestone which oddly, now looks like light grey next to the Rhodium. Well chuffed with the interior.

Replaced all the interior bulbs with LED's. An additional LED strip was put in the boot area for improved lighting during the winter months in that area.

Some bodywork improvements. Removal of scratches around the car.

I fixed the rear bumper where the previous owner had reversed into something (see below).

New front and rear anti-roll bushes and drop links will be done this week by my local garage.
