Dave_Q Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I see a few boring, common cars in the background of the engine pics, which is OK I suppose, but pics of the current state of the car would be lovely when you have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Crumbs, that's been off the road for nearly 30 years!

MattJY Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 The R14 will be going to the festival of the unexceptional on 27th July if anyone wants to see it before major restoration.

MattJY Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Because its going to be restored from a GTL to a TS model in bronze with tan interior....like my first car.

I also have a zero miles TS dash, new, for €30. From France where I guess it’s of no use. Only 3 RHD left and only one of those is a TS….quite a small market Matty and Split_Pin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Only 3 rhd ones left? Crikey. There must be yours, that white one and phase 1, WUF892S which belongs/ed to @MrRegieRitmo who hasn't logged on here in a long, long time. mk2_craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meggersdog Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 We spotted the AC Williams dealer sticker. Used to go to the Stamford branch in Water street for parts in the 1980's . It's all posh waterside flats now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
