And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Love the look of FML with the de-chrome - all cars look lovely, but that one in particular is a stunner!

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I really like the Avus 18's. The less fussy look complements the D2's styling IMHO.
Thanks for sharing your enjoyment of your backyard playground, and great picts Connor

Likewise! I definitely have to do that to mine.

Is it factory or done with vinyl?

On mine Satin Black was a factory option chosen when it was new, I have seen some that have been wrapped and the results look good
