Hi I'd say welcome to the club first of all but you've been around a long time. 😉

Yours looks good from that pic but do post some more up because we never get fed up with seeing them.

So tell me what sort of reactions do you have from the people when they see you climb in the wrong side? 🤔 😂👍

Oh and I've not seen the sports shoe 👟 on any factor accessories list before!  😂

Bought from Prowler.over here its only a classic after 30 years. And because it has no catalyst   converter tax is 456 euros a year. Plus it had to have a  major mot because it came from the UK. There were other problems but hey its all ok now.,just need a good UK online shop for spare parts that can be exported to Germany.

This has really made my day….!
So glad that this beauty is still alive and running around, and especially around Germany….AND looking as good, if not better, than the day we parted company..!
A credit to you Terry, I knew she had gone to a good home……
……now I wish I had not sold her…!
Are those a sneaky pair of running lights I see under the bumper..?
We still have the automatic, but will have to let that one go soon….lack of power steering and medical conditions dictate the decision….
Thanks mate for putting this up, and reminding me of the anniversary…
….wish I'd never sold her…really do…

Owning a Mk1 cabby is a vertical learning curve…

Could always add a cat for 70 euros if that brings tax down? Not sure if aftermarket up/downgrades will count.. my late clipper has cat. From new. So has to be on for mot.
