Why so negative? There is no rush. It's not going anywhere for a while.
Got a few bits and bobs that needs doing, I don't like the chrome headlights for a start, and I want to do something to break up all the black. But that's just the asthetics.
The engine will be getting stripped and a full service and MOT (yep, no mot) before it goes anywhere.
It will probably be at least a fourtnight before it's taken out for a spin. But as it's said... All good things come to those who wait'.

It's coming up from Harlow on a transporter. Which I didn't think would happen as after three hours of waiting for it to arrive Mr P kicked off as it was booked from 8.00 am. Most of which was spent in a local cafe in 'brum town'!
Anyway, the transporter has now been offered free of charge for 24 hours, so we have saved £150 already

That means, "that is a very nice car, good luck with your new purchase." in Norn Iron.

Is Mr P your alter ego for when you wear a strap-on and pretend to be the well endowed man about the house?

From what I gather, it's been off the road for about 8 years. So you might have to think back a bit.
It's only got 2k on the clock, so I doubt it was out that much even back then.

These are very quick and a hoot to drive...
Usually getting off the mark is fun enough due to the clutch arrangement but you will get used to kangaroo'ing it around...lol...
Superb summer car that will leave everything in its wake...Do not try to drive quickly in the wet,unless you like the taste of dry stone walling..
Good luck with it..

I will try and get some better pictures on soon. It's a fireblade, in case you were wondering.
It's parked (rather compactly) in the garage now
