Lovely proportions, a cracking colour and in really good nick, inside and out. Sounds lovely too - even when standing still

A lovely looking car Brian. I heard one in a multi-storey a few years back and it sounded glorious, and the driver was just tootling along.

Connor's new car...before I kerbed one of his wheels outside Stephen's. I have to admit he took it rather better than I would have if he had kerbed mine

Will of course be fully restored to pristine condition at his mum's expense

Having had a ride in Brian's new toy I can say that's it's a beauty 👍I've always loved the styling and sound but the ride is really tight too.
