Default Hard Top off and Spring Clean!

Well as most will know I collected my S a week or so back and had a few jobs to sort before I could really start enjoying it. Well those things are done, it went straight through MOT and I was down the Post Office like a shot to get it taxed.

Now on the road it was time to enjoy these lovely sunny winter mornings we are having so I tool the hard top off and put it into storage.

Also gave me a chance to do a real deep clean, with the exception of a top coat of wax as I left it at home!! So it's been sealed as is for now, but next time round it will get a full coat of wax as well.

Few pics of finished results -











Cheers

Si

Looks lovely Si

It's tempting me to remove my HT too, but with predicted snow in the next week or so I think I'm going to hold out for now...

Thanks for kind comments guys, it's worlds apart fro bow it looked when I collected it from BCA Auctions. Did it at a friends unit in the warm but forgot my final coat of wax so it's missing a layer but its all sealed for now.

Need to get wheels redone, that's the only thing that let's it down, but off to Ring in April so will do it when I get back.

I think they look fantastic in red.
I got as far as taking a train from Cornwall to collect a red S from someone in Loughborough when they phoned me and told me, very emotionally, that they'd decided to keep it. Although I can certainly respect and understand that, he refused to pay for my wasted train fare and the early cancellation fee for the insurance I'd arranged (so I could tax it and drive it home...) - I learned my lesson.

I'm happy with the Nurburgring blue S I ended up with, but every time I see a gorgeous red one like yours I stop and wonder what could have been... *wistful sigh*

Enjoy it

That looks great, every time I see a car that looks that good I wish I had left mine as it was.
