If the reg is B350 JAB it is the lovely, and very tidy Sphinx gold GT that used to be owned by Les on here. If so, I think it was a lovely car, very tidy. It did have an issue with the hydraulic pump being noisy a few years ago and a carb issue that was resolved (search on here).

Good luck! If it isn't the B reg gold one, post up some photos so we can have a perv :D

Hi, it is a good GT so must be the one. Engine runs smooth, I drive it 40 miles back last night. Suspension wise, there was an odd squeak here and there but not noisy.
