I sold it to a guy in Edinburgh who said he was moving to London, can't remember what year I sold it but it was not long before the prices shot up :lol:

I bloody hope not!!! The car was bought brand spanking new by my grandfather in 1973 - he actually wanted an RS2000 but apparently the wait list was too long. It was garaged it's entire life, and after he died I bought it off my uncles who didn't want it. Even though it had always been garaged it had managed to start rusting here and there so I treated it to a very expensive bare metal respray not long after getting it. I also kept it garaged but the damp climate up here and lack of use was starting to have a negative impact. I think it still had less than 60,000 miles on it when I sold it.
