Got my Baby back - 'X' Plate Classic
 
Sold it on and moved onto a Hawkeye STi for 18 months. But decided to return to a Classic due to them becoming rare and not really jelling with the Hawk as I had hoped.

Hawkeye sold on and after hunting around for a Type R or a P1 I decided to seek out my old Classic. Thankfully Nick kindly agreed to sell it back to me:thumb:.
Dead chuffed to get it back and it has really made me appreciate how good it was and how good a classic is to drive.

nice to hear after all the hard work you have put into this car. hope he kept it as clean as you did.

Markfey 25 October 2012 01:21 AM

She is lovely!!! It's similar to what i have right now. I've been toying with the idea of selling up for a hawk sti.

I think now you may have made my mind up for me.

billy21 25 October 2012 07:33 AM

That look like a very clean well looked after classic. I have always preferred my classic over others I have had or drove.

It has kept well over the last 18 months, but then it should as it only done about 1500miles.

What a beautiful example you have there, not surprised you wanted it back mate. Really chuffed for you.

Just got my wheels back from re-furb at Lepson's in Kent, as the guy I sold it to0 (Not Nick who I purchased it back from), managed to get all four looking in a sorry state.
Very pleased with results.....

Scott.T 18 March 2013 02:10 PM

Cheers for your comments guy's, it's appreciated........
I'm keeping an eye on Mr Silver Scooby Sports RA project thread and may rob a few idea's.
Although taking the body off to clean the underside is maybe a step too far for me......

Silver Scooby Sport 18 March 2013 02:16 PM

:lol1: Scott.... Yes I know what can I say :D

Don't worry I'm keeping an eye on you as well :thumb:
Infact I'm going to drop you a pm tonight ;)
