Well i purchased another this time its a Laurel. It has had 2 previous owners, last owner 20 0dd years and most of its time in Kent. Moved to London about 5 years ago. Has not been used for over 10 years but was mot'd every year and serviced. Totally original. Had a new vinyl roof and full respray 2 years ago. 71,000. 6 cylinder auto. Totally original. I purchased the car from ebay at a competitive price not at £3,999 as advertised. The car does have 2 problems

1, slight miss when revving,
2, when i start the car i have to keep the key held between acc and on if i let go the engine stops, changed the coil over and checked connectors still does the same. This happened after the deep clean.

The cars interior was extremely dirty like it had never been cleaned and about 20 years of smoking tar all over it. I started the deep clean sat 10am and finished at 18:00. The interior was dark brown but was suppose to be beige.

only having that 1 photo from ebay was limited so i will make up for it here you go.

That is absolutely stunning Ricky, my first ever car after passing my test was a 1982 sunburst red XR3, I have always had a soft spot for them, even to this day and after 20yrs my daughter stills mentions it now and again.
I'd love another one, but it probably will never happen.

What have you had to do to it Ricky ?
