Not a huge update, but I left the car in with Chris at Crawford Clarke Cars for timing belt, aux belt, dephaser pulley and water pump. In terms of mileage they didn't get need done but time wise it had been 7 years I think since I got them done! No harm in keeping it fresh for the next few years of hooning about! Gracious picture after a well overdue bath.

Everytime I see this thread bumped I have a little bit of hope that it's for sale lol.

I’ll be trying to beat you to it!

Haha I'm sorry for getting your hopes up fellas 🤣

That’s a great colour, the silver Turinis work really well on it too!
Prices definitely seem to have softened on the mainland over the last few months… They still look cheap to me compared to a lot of stuff

Racing blue is a class colour. And silver turinis really do freshen it up. I agree they are alot of fun for little money, but I reckon the smarter buy would be a 197 now, some examples are proper bargain basement fun now!
