Title: Hi All!
Post by: bronzeoz1 on August 31, 2016, 10:21:01 AM
Hi All,

I'm new to the site. I'm not normally a big fan of redheads but I have made an exception with this particular one :) I purchased her in May this year. Prior to me buying her she has been in storage for over 20 years. I've left the last registration sticker on stating that she was last registered in 1994. Upon inspection I found that she was a completely rust-free example & totally original right down to the radio cassette. We took our time replacing all fluids, filters, spark plugs, new battery & guess what? She started effortlessly.

I then took her down to the guys at Monza Motors in Bayswater where the injectors were serviced, radiator flushed, thermostat cleaned, rear brake caliper replaced & for the obligatory timing belt replacement & the RWC was completed.

She is now on club plates. My only gripe with this arrangement is that I don't get to drive her as often as I would like to  :(

Cheers,

Andrew

Her first real outing since registration has been to the Auto Classica in Canterbury last Sunday. We hope to see everyone at future AROCA events  :)

Thanks Gusto, to tell you the truth I never noticed the red A pillar. It looks different to all the black ones I see now!

Thanks Andrew, lovely early GTV6! even the bumpers are straight!

This looks like one of the 35 1982 build cars. Could you provide the chassis no? Interesting that it has a compliance plate, so far none of the others have one and they were all registered as 2 litres!

Cheers
John

Hey Andrew,

Ever have that niggling feeling everyone hates you . . . whilst at the same time all wanting to be you ??  ;)

Get used to it & welcome to the asylum!
