Looks like you got a good one there Rob. What year is she? Looking forward to seeing the pics after you've polished it all. So whats the first retrofit??

Cracking car for the money Rob. I have been thinking of late that we are bang in the middle of a "Golden Age" for large car bargains.You can get a fantastic Jag/Daimler out there for relatively peanuts at the moment, once these cars have gone...thats it.P.

That looks GIGANTIC! Don't suppose it'll fit in your garage??!

a quick update after a full strip down of the interior and a very quick wash. Next week if the weathers nice i'm going to start touching up the paintwork.

It took alot of hard work to do and used up every bit of my spare time but my word it was worth the effort!

You have a lovley car there Rob!

Phil · 30th March 2009, 23:27

Rob it looks brand new? Was it just well kept or have you just had a lot of hard work on your hands? By the way it is stunning indeed. I've said it before...... I'm a little bit jealous!

the interior was a disgrace when i got her, dirt and nicotine stains on every panel, so the whole interior got taken appart to its componant parts and cleaned at least twice! I even stayed up untill 3 am last saturday cleaning the drivers seat!

The car itself is ok, theres a few tiny bits of rust here and there but now the summers nearly here i can get to work on her, also i need to get mr chips man in to do a few carpark dents in the doors!

Did you take all the seats and the carpet out? What did you use to get it that clean?
