Good on you buddy! Sleep well knowing you're keeping that thing on the road for others to enjoy after you (at a higher and higher price too from the looks of things out there)..

I bought the old Devon scout Syncro that no one wanted to touch and its now a beauty, taken me 3 years to fully restore it but now worth every hour spent if nothing else just for the smile I have every time I see it.

Looking forward to seeing more photos...

Not that I know; this one had a set of amber flashing lights on the roof; J reg 2.1 petrol; usually out with the surveyors. I know Graham from way back; stopped using his garage after he retired.

here you go, 8000 dokumented km on the clock and will probably be sold for a ridiculously low price its already reached its reserve price of £100, only problem is you have to pick it up from greenland :shock:
