Thanks Hans!
As you know, I did really want a 1750. I was a bit unsure about the colour until I saw it in the flesh, and then I fell in love. I also said "groovy" a lot!
I like the original dash and stepfront too, but so many of the early cars are getting snapped up for racing in pre-1966 events, or getting turned into GTA replicas. Both of which makes them very expensive! They also have some components on them which are not quite as strong as the later ones - especially the brakes and the front suspension mounting points.
@ Bazza - don't hold your breath.
