Fifteen Years after selling my Zircon Blue Series 1 V8 this was delivered today.

Yep that's the one - looks much the same now. Do you know if it left the factory a dark red / burgundy. Only ask as inner wings match the roof skin and fairly sure all other bolt on panels didn't start life on it.... When did you own it and was it running then?

Long time out of here. Dabbling again. Anyone any info on this one?

Got a 1965 C reg in Wakefield. Car may be broken soon.

Wreath is ordered - pick up Thursday morning for onward transmission to Undertakers ( saves delivery cost - tight Yorkshireman ;-) ) Asked for something simple, classic, manly, not too colourful and emphasis on Rover colours of Burgandy & Gold if at all possible. For any (classic) cars coming...
