Where Is My Scimitar Now? VPY 722S

[jonesgm]

Only have good memories of this beast - Had a great time driving round France, furthest we got was to Montpellier, not a single problem.

Owned around 1989 - 1990







Would be great if still about

Hi,

Indeed your car does still exist. It was on Ebay for sale earlier in the year. I don't know who bought it or how much it went for.

I will try and put a couple of the photos of it here soon.

WOW - that's great news, and thanks for the work in locating. I really would have liked to keep this one, but the housing crash of 1990 brought all the Scimitar fun to an abrupt end also had to sell my house and go back to mums - doh!

Hi,

I am a real anorak and collect any pictures of Scimitars!

Here are the pictures that were from Ebay:





Still looks in nice condition

Wow - gob smacked! Thanks scimmie for being an anorak VPY looks superb, I don't know how many owners after me but they all took real care, looks just the same, just a few bits here and there - but after 15+ years looks superb. (darn thing is I could have considered buying her back through eBay )

...look the rear wiper still parks correctly and that stainless steel exhaust looks the same too, I wonder if the wheels ever got lacquered? Frequent polishing when I had them due to the lack of lacquer

Regards

Geoff

Dave, what a great site, cheers for the link
