Re: A new Toy
If you could get one in RHD and with a manual gearbox for under 2 grand I'd have it in a heartbeat!

Looks nice that Van, well done

Re: A new Toy
Keep it white, it looks stunning. You can always spray it black when white goes back out of fashion!

Re: A new Toy
What is that beside the heater control?

I have to say that interior shot really takes me back. I haven't seen one of those radios in years, but I know them well. It brought a big smile to my face.

the bit on the right is whats left of a mobile phone holder which I will be getting shot of soon, the radio/cass still works but if you look there is a little display in front of the ashtrays which is for a 6 cd shuttle which is remote controled

And fitted the 17" wheels today

Some nice motors there Van, Love the charger, Vette old 32 hot rod, I used to be part of a good cruise scene, but the meet was shut down due to bikers pulling three figure wheelies in a residential area It wasn't till I got the 156, that I really got over selling my 'Vette, still it put a deposit on my house and the v6 alfa put the smile back on my face
