heres my latest investment! many of you may have seen this on ebay recently, i probably paid over the odds but have always wanted one and figured when would i get another oppurtunity to buy one? sold my split screen vw camper to finance this purchase - reckon i made the right decision! hopefully this will spur me on to get started on the rest of my projects, the plan is to have the mk1 the mk3 and the 2200 on the road in time for the holsworthy vintage rally in july, so no pressure then!!  |

Hi Keef!
It certainly is shiney - and free of filler too! It had been part of a private collection for the last 8 years and hadnt been used. I collected it on new years eve from leeds, it made it as far back as birmingham before the alternator gave up. all fixed now, a full service, new alternator and temp sender. I'll be dragging the mk1 out of the shed tomorrow and giving it a good wash, pour some coke down the bores and draw up a shopping list for earlparts. i think having a landcrab on the road will spur me into action on the rest of the fleet. pics to follow once the cars have been cleaned, at the moment they're all looking like candidates for rust in peace...
