Well it was a lovely sunny morning...perfect for an open top test drive of a 55. What a car! The power delivery and responsiveness is very impressive. Has a very happy backend though - doing about 30, floored the throttle and it still wobbled about. I LOVED the seats and how they just hold you in place. The best part - the engine
Managed to grab a good deal. Brake pads were very low, so they will replace those. A small scratch on the boot, so they are going to respray it. A bit of water collecting in the battery compartment, so they will fix that. Managed to get a good price for my 230 considering its age and the fact that they are going to have to repair the rear arches. I also managed to squeeze a full tank of petrol into the deal since I have a bit of a journey to get it back.
Not as clean as I would like (high standards), but I will have fun getting into all of little places.
Some pretty country roads on the route that I am picking it up from, so should be fun! Can't wait for next Sunday!
Only thing I will have to wait for are the private plates...I hope the DVLA are quick about the transfer
