Top effort, although is the vin plate missing from the engine bay???

hmm good point, must have missed that with being so tired, i checked the one by scuttle tray and it checked out with HPI and DVLA check, so think its all ligit .......

Great buy rich,if your ever my way again pop in.

Hi Rich

Great to see another Sportline looking so fresh and well… :wink:

It was great to meet yourself and Scott again (two top blokes) and hear some of the stories of your mammouth journey undertaken in less than 24hrs. A whirlwind adventure for a nice motor, one I'm sure you won't ever forget.

Must say when the lads arrived it was raining - but after a quick look around the bodywork is tidy, the interior in the car is mint and the purr was sweet - a genuinly great purchase and happy to have played a small part.

I'm going to look forward to this build thread over the coming months.  

As you say a new roof skin on this and she will look the bees knees…

Roll on Uttoxeter and Wolfsburg trips I say… We will have to have a sportline meet now  :dontknow:

Best of luck with it and most of all Enjoy!

Top man Rich, glad you found your dream car mate, and the journey wow looks like I'm going to have to take notes for our wolfsburg ding dong !!

But the car looks stunning mate and I'm sure you'll have the polish at the ready for the weekend !!

Get Scott to give you a hand just to complete the whole event !!

Well done mate really pleased for you.

Good read that Rich, glad you got yourself sorted  

Though I was worried when quickly shifting through the photos, for a moment I thought you had bought the car from the guy in the photo below, never before have I ever seen a dodgier looking guy  :wink:

Great story Rich. feel tired just reading it    All three Sportlines look good - must have been a difficult choice. Looking forward to seeing your new one in the metal.

Thanks Guys, cant wait to have some time to spend on it, clean it and get roof done !

Top effort, although is the vin plate missing from the engine bay???

sorry was still a bit tired from trip when posting, if you look in photos vin plate is there, the plate that looks like it is missing is just some paint missing from plate that i think may say the build date stuff? …

ha just had a look back through the thread at what a manic day it was. All worth it though, car has been cleaned up a bit as you can see from my build thread (link below) and all being well im gona have a punt at the show and shine at a show on Sunday :-)
