Oh, and I like the Mk1 headlamp guard - I don't suppose anyone has a pair (or some damaged Mk2 ones I can modify) kicking about?

ooohhhh thats rare! (shame its that colour AGAIN).

Another Concorde Garage car (along with WTF and marks 16v).

Gotta be saved, being a 17RD makes it even more scarce as the made them for a few months.

No power steering but no Mk1 RD hatch had it as standard.
Lots of Motors, mostly semi broken....

Ah, I see ANOTHER forum member has expressed an interest. Some people just aren't happy with just three Mk1s it seems... ;)

Well, it might be another one and only, so you gotta consider it - I would if it were near here!

So how many are you gonna have to sell later in the year Andy?

I am seriously considering selling the TGS Estate and after that it will probably be Sophie and spend more time and money on the others.

Go Andy - you know you want it! Casting my eye over those photographs though and bringing to bare a wealth of in depth mechanical knowledge, expertise and experience, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that . . . it's probably broke. :shock:
