Congratulations!!! I'm about 3 months ahead of you!!! In fact there are a number of us on here that bought about 20 years ago.

As to whether it was a good buy - the fact that we still have the car says it all!!!

And if you're ever in doubt, just go for a "gentle" drive!!! driving

I presume you'll be having a party for the car? hehe

Cheers

Rob

I bought mine 14 years ago

I thought I'd bought a car, in fact I'd aquired an all consuming hobby, that rarely worked

But when it does... It's truely sublime

Cheers all.

No party, but I did raise a glass, and many presents throughout the year, including - ACT big bore system, new condenser and recommissioned A/C after a hawk took off from some road kill just as I was passing and smashed the number plate and punctured the old condenser. The Cerb did win the overall battle though. angel - and finally refurbed wheels.

All in all, she did pretty well this year. So far. wink

Just being nosy, did you buy it based purely on the eBay advert or did you view it in person? Quite a gamble if you didn’t view it, but luck was clearly on your side if you still have it.

I had to go and look on my V5... Apparently it's a little over 15yrs for me!!

Never fails to bring a smile to my face.
