Default Moley's Type R
Having decided to keep my Newage a bit longer, i've bought this for the winter whilst my other car gets some needed TLC....



First mods have been done - crystal headlights.
Being machine polished tomorrow to sort the paintwork, and will be adding a few small touches over the next few weeks.

Feels good to be in another Classic, although i need to get used to the DCCD (bit more tail-happy than the Newage)

Yep, XXR's

The picture isn't a great one (iPhone)... the paint is a different colour in normal light (much darker)

Import as a winter ride? I thought imported classics rust at the mere suggestion of salt
