That’s a beauty mate, nice to know that’s it’s gone to you mate, because it will be looked after and loved just as it was previously looking forward to seeing it in the flesh soon 👍

What a lovely looking example of a great car.

I've always liked the cars and I've always liked that style of wheel, I have similar ones on my Capri after all, but never thought they'd look any good on a modern car.........guess what?.......... I was wrong!

That is one tidy motor

Good luck to you both for the future.

Thanks all

Really looking forward to using it once I've finished the tourer. I have some plans for Redfive, will be adding some of my own touches but will be keeping the core look of redfive the same

No I'll be bringing my other one to Holland

The wheels will be staying on redfive, I'll be getting them refurbished at some point hopefully

Your blue car Rick, wow, I wouldn't dare park my ZT-T next to it, maybe out the way under a tree but not next to it, I would be ashamed to.....

Plus not next to Redfive nor Bob's Flying Banana.

As for the engine, not a chance would I lift the bonnet, mines not dirty but definitely not spotless and shiny.

I think the only way I could possibly compete would be to buy a brand new car!

Mine's an AV05 plate in Firefrost too, but nowhere near as nice as Redfive.
Might have to buy myself a club grille badge now I've seen those pics - didn't think of putting it under the plate.

Aha my Typhoon isn't that immaculate. If you want to see an immaculate example take a look at Teflon's lagoon 75

There's quite a few firefrosts on AV05 plates I've noticed. I think they still offer the club badges on the forum shop?

I have seen Teflons car at the National Meet when it was held there, which is where I first met yourself and your young lady.
