First registered on the 14th of May 1976, it was owned by one person until the 1st of November 1979 when it was sold to a farmer here in Kent who used the car until the end of 1987 when he put it into an old barn and used his new car….
The farmer’s daughter put the car up for sale locally , I bought it this week without seeing it and thought ‘ it couldn’t be that bad’ , I transferred the money across and said I’d collect it on Saturday.
