Spotted these fine examples of paint and body repair work on my recent holiday to Lesvos. If anyone would like their '8 prepared by these guys in time for the next annual meet, please let me know!

I've rented worse than that in Greece, back in the day.
My first thought on the mirrors were that they were a response to a "Greek MOT" failure.....
