thought id best post up some pictures of my car as i've been informed by steve that this is the place to be regarding 300's. i've met some people off here before at the turbobricks summer meet, where i had a grey 760.

some people may have seen the car on ebay, it was terribly listed tho.

Looking good after a clean!! You git... You'll have to thank Chris_C for finding it in the first place...

Thanks Chris, for making me spend a day in Doncaster - I wouldn't recommend it

Very nice! there's something cool about the early Mk2's with the late Mk1 interior.

Yeah, the listing was a tad special

I must admit, I was damn close to getting it, I don't normally like mk2's, but that had the potential to be good (turns out it is...) from the couple of dubious pics that had been posted.

Love the phone box in the garden

yeah theres very little wrong with it, a piece of rust about 10p size on each a pillar, driver side arch is rotting through at the bottom and the water pump and rad are dodgy. about £100 should see it with an mot and reliable.

Hi Martin, Pete with the white GLT from the summer Tbricks BBQ and 940 BBQ!

Nice car and bargaintastic. Looks like with a little bit of time and money it could be a damn fine example! Look after it, like it a lot! Hope to see you at some V3M meets now!

Pete

couldent agree more Chris lol

Foster carers like me have to do hours of training on diversity and being non judge mental , perhaps I should arrange a session for the more blinkered members hare lol

Martin .
that is potentially a lovely car and you certainly wont lose it in a supermarket car park , I'm really liking the yellow, welcome
