What an awesome transformation, you must be so proud, like a kid in a sweet shop, and like your first legal pint on your 18th, cars, like this evoke, so many memories, and do mental health, the world of good by doing so. Please don’t ever sell it Rob even if anyone offers you stupid money, you will never find one as good as this, keep it, love it, enjoy it, because trust me, there will be days when it’s been as tough as it can be, and you think everything is against you, all you need to do is open the garage door open the car put the keys in and the world gets so much better enjoy every mile mate you deserve it

Wow ! Just watched this an it’s certainly brought back some memories - As a lad I ran one of these from 88 to 92 - was 22 when I bought it…..which was quite a lot of car at the time….. an like you sold it as a 26 year old to get me into me last house……for 33 hundred quid……which at the time wasn’t too bad as they weren’t worth a rub due to the high insurance costs….. A quick way to immobilise those from the drivers seat was to flip up the rear seat squab an with your left hand reach over and pull the factory two pin connector to the fuel pump apart…….despite me expensive Gemini full closure alarm this quick little trick prevented mine from getting too far away once when attempted to steal….. Great Video 👍😃
