That looks lovely! Can't be many of these left now?

Any chance of some engine bay pics? Im guessing the bulge conceals a nice 'charger smile

What about some 'before' pics so we can see the extent of the work done? (or some 'during' pics would be interesting...) smile

That looks lovely. Have a soft spot for these as my father had a bright red one when I was little. Sadly it had to go to make way for a Volvo 265 wagon when my sisters were born.

Their site appears to be down at the moment, best I can suggest is using google 'lancisti my hpe vx resto begins' and look at the cached pages till its back up.

Edit : Appears to be back up now!
