I spent today across the 'soft border' between the UK and the EU in Donegal. A friend who lives there has a beautiful 1976 export spec 2300 Magnum Coupe. He's owned it from new and bought it because he couldn't get a new Droop Snoot Firenza, only one HPF was imported to the South of Ireland. His Magnum was a special order and was probably one of the very last ones made.
Because he wanted a Snoot it was very soon modified with brand new Snoot parts bought through his dealer. He also added a DTV stage 3H head and Snoot cam all topped off with 48 Dellortos, Luminition, and a Janspeed 4 branch. It's got full Snoot suspension and brakes too with Spax adjustables. A few years ago he swapped the Avons for 7 inch Superlites and had it resprayed in the original colour.
The owner doesn't do any DIY car work despite loving his cars and for a few years now he's been finding it increasingly difficult to find a reliable mechanic to work on the car ......and that's where I stepped in.
Before Christmas i sorted out his ignition by fitting a new coil, leads, plugs and did the resistance wire bypass. Today I fitted new rear wheel cylinders and freed up the front calipers. A beautiful car to work on and a very enjoyable day in a Euro land.
