Just picked this up
Had 2 previous classics first in 2001 then my 2nd in 2008 and always regretted selling them so couldn’t resist this one when I saw it up for sale

I like roof scoops so that gets the thumbs up, the bonnet one looks too big and doesn't look right, it looks a nice car apart from that..

Thanks for the comments - i'm in agreement about the scoop but try finding an oem pre facelift (my96) scoop! And yes the roof vent will take the paint with it so not paying out for that.

Very nice place to group up and yeah I bet - being on the forest is a chilled place to be (outside of tourist season!). I doubt it's changed much from when you were last here except the pub at Hill Top changing hands and the power station being knocked down to make way for a posh new marina.
