![]() Some similar characteristics mentioned between OVP and our tourer. The hole for the light bar on ours wasn’t as neat as OVP’s and ours was just drilled through the roof. Also, we have a single fine cut mark on a door from the decal fitting which luckily doesn’t look as though it’s broken through the paint.

![]() For me, that's a big part of it's charm. There are many examples of the higher spec models in amazing condition, but most of the basic ones have either been upgraded at some point, or are unloved (not all, I hasten to add!).
Having said that, if it were mine, I doubt I could resist adding lots of walnut and all the upgrades - ruining the cars history in the process ![]() Cliff
