Owned a grey V8S (J527 LLW) very briefly in 2004-05, which was only (and regrettably) sold due to move overseas. Chap I sold it to through Pistonheads promised me first refusal if he ever sold it but have subsequently discovered from his profile that tt didn't bother to drop me an emails en he got rid of it, which is annoying as (a) I thought he was a half decent bloke and (b) I would have bought it back around the time he sold it (06, I think)

Anyway, anyone here know of/own it?

Hi Martin,
Yes I bought her from an Irish gentleman back in May who had her for 5 years and didn't really use her.
Sorned for most of it.

She's part way through a full restoration. Should be ready for her first outing at the Chatsworth meeting if your coming along be interesting to have a chat ?

Hi Simon


Thanks for the reply and apologies for the belated response!

Spotted the car on the thread about the classic car show. Have to say it looks fantastic. As I said, I only owned it for a year during which time I was based in Sheffield which meant it was treated to some great drives around the Peak District and servicing (and a new stainless steel exhaust, which looked and sounded brilliant) from R T Racing.

Cheers,

Martin

...and couldn't believe there was possibly anything else that needing doing. Then I realised which year this topic started!
