The colour is so much richer after the respray. The old stuff was really, really badly faded. The car is now quite well covered in dust, but I remember when I looked at it the first time, shortly after it had been painted, it just glowed in the sunlight. I'll treat it to a wash once it's got an MOT :)

cheers

Very nice! MK1 is the best look.
