Hi Geoff,

Cant believe your considering selling the car. I was looking forward to seeing this thing out cruising. Maybe if you do sell it you could get another MK2 to cruise around in. I know where one is that has not been driven in a long time! Very close to you as well . John

Yes I know the one you mean John. But unfortunately my eyes are that bad that I cant work or drive anymore. Thats the only reason I am selling. It breaks my heart really. I have put so much time and effort into that car.

Geoff, i must say your project is one of the reasons i keep visiting this forum every so often. Im really sorry to hear that the car must go.  You have done a fantastic job of it so far, and was always impressed by your attention to detail (and a tidy garage to go with it!). I was really hoping to see that cossie gear get put to good use, and no chassis more fitting than your mk1...
 
Just wanted to say all the best, both with your cars and your health.
Nige.

Thank you so much for your kind words Nigel and Glenn, I really appreciate it.
 

I am open to offers on this car if anyone is interested

Geoff, so sorry to hear of your health probs and that you have to get rid of that gem. When I bought that XR2 from you I wished that MK1 was in my shed. Such a lovely car. Must be heart breaking to have to see it go.

might be a silly question but can this car be road registered?

Gerald
Thank you very much for your very kind words.
