The first thing the proprietor of Dulnain Bridge garage would do if required to work on an Integrale is try and get in to the drivers seat from the wrong side .biggrinbiglaugh

1991


Eight years later and I’d stretched to a whole extra .2 of a litre

It was an 84 in Amazon Blue with the awful brown interior of that era. 84s are a bit odd with the flat front and coloured tail lights of the early cars, and the digi-dash, abs, and wide wheels of the later cars. As you can see I’d added the later front and rear lights at this point. The engine was shagged though and it needed a new cylinder head which I bought but never fitted - it’s still under my desk paperbag

I used to drive past that garage with my parents when I was a kid in the 70's.

That brings back memory's as my first car at age 17 (1982) was a 1973 Cortina GXL 2.0L in dark green with black vinyl roof !
