Hi Thomas,
My Mum owned this car in 1977/1978, it was her 2nd car! During the time she owned it, it was stolen from outside Colwyn Bay Pier. It was recovered by the Police and taken to Bangor so that they could try and take fingerprints from the vehicle. When it was returned to her the paint was in a mess-the police did the damage somehow. She sold the car shortly afterwards. Maybe that's the reason for the poor respray? She remembers it as a brilliant, comfortable car lol
I've been looking for this car for years. As a car fanatic, I've always asked my parents about the cars I they had before I was born. This is one of them! I was born in 1982. I checked on the dvla website about 5 years ago to find it was taxed. Couldn't believe it lol Since then I have searched ebay regularly, hoping it would appear! And it finally did-just 20 miles from home! Unfortunately for me, it came up for sale at the wrong time! Gutted! Good to see it's going to someone who will give it the attention it deserves!
Good luck with the project, and if you ever want to sell her please get in touch
Cheers,
Dave
