Wow......just realised i signed up here in 2010. Took me 6 years to post.....that is bad :flushed:.

Hi Crispin.... Yes the V8 works really well and sounds quite nice also:grinning:. Sometimes it works too well, and the old chassis struggles a bit lol. Very good guess on the location. Its a place called Hoedspruit in the NE of South Africa. It borders the Kruger National park. Cheers. Dave.

Hi Ali..... As Rodger above, I would be interested to hear what price would be for a soft top roof and also shipped to either UK or Spain. Ideally I would prefer used as opposed to restored. Regards. Dave.

Hi Dave. Can you keep us posted on how you get on with your matriculation in Spain. I'm thinking of doing the very same thing, and am also looking for lhd headlights. Do you know if we will have to have a 6 monthly ITV done after matriculation. I can't seem to get a definitive answer from the...

Hi Les....... Thanks for the welcome..... Not in France, but previous owner used to travel between London and Paris for business. I'm a bit further South near Ronda in Spain. All the best Dave.
