Re: C160 SFG - 1986 Elford Turbo
Looks great Ian, so the plan is still to pass it on, I'm sure you will miss the turbo but I'm sure Gus will make up for it .
Good luck and be safe.

Re: C160 SFG - 1986 Elford Turbo
I love driving the GTI Thomas but I’ll always have a RX7. I’ve still got Gus and drive him a few days each week but I haven’t got the space to store cars I hardly ever use and the Elford is surplus to requirements. I’ve hardly driven it in the last 2 years so it’s time to move it on and let someone else enjoy it and I’ll drop down to 1x gti and 1 x rx7 plus maybe another daily driver

I think she is saying "Please do not sell me"
I hope the new owner will be worthy

Looking great under the bonnet, good luck with the MOT Ian
