It's heeeerrreeee

Here are the first 3 pics of my new car…
We had a scare on the way home….I suddenly lost half of my gears..luckily I was about half a mile from Germania in Newport…a quick call from them to a nearby garage, another couple of miles driving in what I approximate to be 4th gear (!) and the fault was quickly diagnosed as a loose gear linkage - phew! A couple of cable ties and a fiver changed hands and we were back on the road with all gears active!
There are a few things I need to get repaired / replaced so no doubt I'll be back asking for some advice

Very nice..
Not sure about the Blue hood though…Is it Blue? it looks blue..

ask away…too.

yes, it's blue…car is dark steely blue (Inca blue? where can I find out?) and the hood is also blue, with cream lining. I think it will need a new hood before long, as there are 3 small holes in it…how can I find out what colour it should be, so I can get it right?

Ah ha it's beacuse your in the forest lol. I thought it was a Green coloured car, Doh my bad.

Open the boot and the big cross member that runs from side to side should have a sticker on it. That will have the paint code on it if it's still there.
But yep inca blau/Inka Blau Quartette model. Also can be on an yellow tab in the engine bay on some cars LK5T paint code, only available for 1990 IIRC.

Nicceeee!!

Hoods with holes a No No. Water and moisture in and the holes tend to get bigger, plus a weak point for tea leafs..

Looks tidy

ha ha that's funny, my hubby always says I was born in a tree!! What does IIRC mean,btw?

Nice purchase. Congrats on getting home in one piece. Welcome to MK1 ownership. Sounds like you have quite a rare cabby
