Tiffany flew through her MOT on Tuesday with flying colours even though she had been parked up for over a year..her exhaust is abit rusty but thats not even a issue..the MOT tester suggested i preserve her rust free under carriage so i spent the rest of Tuesday cleaning and under sealing her..

Hi Tom ..so far everything in car works and will stay in car as long as it works..i think the simple things with the car are very appealing to me as my S60 got so many gagdets that can go wrong canbe a headache lol..shame Tiffany aint got power steering my ruddy biceps are over developing lol..

That's a lovely looking car, I've never been a great fan of red, but this one and meintag's have made me change my mind.

Wow, what a beut! The paint looks great, as does the interior and the underside! Looks better than mine!

Have you got a garage to keep her in so the paint doesn't fade unlike most red 300's?

Look after her :)

SOOOOOOOOOOOOPERB!!

Looks great, was this on fleabay not too long ago?

- if not there must be a very similar car in the same condition somewhere. 2 in this condition in red would be like rocking horse doo doo.

Keep it standard and enjoy,
