That's why I'm putting a Subaru motor in mine.
There are also foot well protection bars available that I'm looking in to.

Kinda yank influenced with the twin headlamps and lashings of chrome :blackeye
Is it metallic blue? Saw one on the A90 heading towards Dundee, strange sight nowadays!

My dad had an 82 Y reg one, later model with square lights when I was a kid. I don't remember much about it though.

Yep - a pale met blue - seen it again, it's a W reg and isn't quite as mint as first thought - but still a smart old girl :thumbsup

Saw an orange & black McLaren 650S on the Strathaven to Hamilton road tonight, looked good but didn't have the presence of the supercars of old, from a distance I thought it was a Lotus :roll: I guess it was on a test run from McLaren Glasgow (in Hamilton)

Was behind a Red E Type Coupe today. Forgotten how slim classic cars are nowadays. Would definitely have one but would it be sacrilidge to want the Eagle version?
