Looking great especially for that price. Get it to a specialist to have it checked over to see of it's running right would be my 1st bit of advice.

Nice one. A good price as well reflected the true market value. A Dealer would have it on the Forecourt for £7k in minutes.

Get those bloody wiper arms re-coated

Welcome back.

Halfords metal spray paint. Just take the arms off clean them up and re-spray. Give them 3 layers and they will be good as new, plus your be £65 better off.
