You lucky bugger Walt (not jealous AT ALL) :mrgreen:
I've noticed it has EXACTLY the same battery as in my Mk1 Campaign (comes with 3 years warranty I believe).

Dirty alternator!
Thanks for all your interest in this car, I love it and waited a long time to find it! All the credit goes to it's previous owner! I feel a little guilty sometimes because most of you guys have been dedicated to the cause for so long and then someone turns up from nowhere with this! Well up to now I have had some Rivage stickers made exactly the same as the ones on my car so there is a supply for future paint job's not only for myself but others too (at a small charge of course!) There are other pictures on this site of the full engine bay etc for reference for others to use when rebuilding or maintaining their own! I have brochures and buyers guide which I can send photographs of on request! So even though I am a stuffy b**&^rd I am trying to help the cause and not show off too much! It lives in my garage now where I put a small radiator just to keep the room from being cold, so dont worry guys it should survive for a long time! Cheers….Walt!

Ah now you see fellas! The dirt has been left on purpose! It is this dirt/waxoil which has kept it this good for so long!
Concours quality dirt that is, genuine stuff too, from 1992! :wink:
I'd keep it exactly as it is to be honest. Excessive cleaning can negate a bit of the charm and it's very hard to maintain and can be more trouble than it's worth…. :cry:
Cheers,
Drew.
