Since the last update... Now the MOT is done I'm going through adding as much items as possible.

The old girl now has

A full set of correct working power fold mirrors with chrome caps.

Cruise control retro fitted and working

Self-dimming interior mirror, (not working fully so still need to look at)

I still have to fit a few items.

Headlight wash
Heated washer jets
Curtain airbags (Maybe if the kit doesn't sell)

As well as fitting the original options I have given the paintwork some attention. One side has been color sanded to remove a lot of the scratches and scuffs from it being off the road a long time and then a full polish to correct it. I’m not a expert in this kind of thing but she looks tidy now. Not perfect but without a full respray it never will be (don’t want to paint it anyway)

I am finding a few issues now I’m driving it like a few noises here and there but monitoring them to find what they are. This was expected after it has been off the road for nearly 13 years.

Thank you

Not work done but a small local car show gathering today.

I’m putting more and more miles on the old girl now.

So after all the hard work the target was set. S544 AOX went to pride of longbridge with her factory registered ex management pool car sister V149 LOE.

They both got some good attention given. Thank you to everyone who came to say hello.
