Add your details to the list if you qualify
I was speaking to another member, Roger Squires and the topic came up again. We thought where to post first and it seemed it would only be right to start here.
So here is the criteria for qualifying.
It has to have been owned over 20 years. Not family owned but registered in your name and preferably still road legal.
so if you or someone you know meets the above, lets see how many of us are out there.
Thanks for looking and contributing.
Ill start with mine which is 30 years on 6/11/16 🙂

However my wife has owned her's for 23yrs on 13th August 2016, however unfortunately not road legal, as the engine gave up the ghost and I promised her a G60 Engine for it!
Andrew Harris is another ;-)

I haven't seen him for a while, and he's fairly private about ownership and details. It's a red campaign, and it's that good that on a sunny day he can seen with Duraglit inside the tailpipes! He's very particular.

I know it does not really qualify for this section as it's been in the family but the car is used and abused, not keep in a heated garage and only used on sunny dry days….
