I bought her in 1985 when I was 19, and spent my time zooming up and down the Kings Road.
36 years later, its time I am afraid, for her to go.
Early on in our relationship, I had her undergo a major uplift and refurbishment – new floor pans, inner and outer seals, door skins, bonnet, re-spray, new brake servo and fuel lines etc.
I used the car almost daily for the next 10 years and then had her resprayed again in 1998.

She has been garaged always for all the 36 years I have had her.”
