    Did this afew months ago lovely car, glad I stopped working on it as I was getting more and more tempted to buy it, not my kind of car normally but very rare and well put together.

    Upon arrival:

    The calipers were also freshened as it was a wheels off detail:

    Car was then refined, the gone over with a finishing polish,wiped down and coatings applied. The fabric roof was full coated with gtechniq fabric and the hard top was put on for winter and polished and sealed with the same steps:

    Mineral white comes up a treat lee, bigger than the meg and tougher paint.
