My New Car

kc13661 · 8th August 2016, 21:24

Well tonight I went to purchase a 1.8 Radiator fan unit, and fuel sender unit and ended up buying a car.... Why ? I was smitten, Atlantic Blue Cowley 1.8 Auto Connoisseur ... and the car was looking as though it was heading for the dreaded fate of been broken for parts, even though the current owner did not really want to see this happen, so time to save it.

A price was mentioned a handshake done, then I asked to look at it.

Things that need doing, well it apparently has the first signs of oil in the header tank, and a slight knock on the front drop link.

(Front alloy getting tyre sorted)

Look forward to getting it to a future meet, it has not been seen on the circuit for at least the last six years

That's one of my favourite colours

I'm sure it'll be up to scratch in no time

Kostas will be gutted to see you drive this away Keith, it is indeed a fantastic car, even better with Serpents fitted

Linda will love it though
