Lovely - and I have to say I prefer it the colour it is. Lot's of Gulf coloured cars out there that shouldn't be.  |

It looks far better in pictures hence why I'm getting it repainted. And colour wise I don't have a clue. I fancy the colour as mentioned or white. But what your opinions on colour for respray ?
As for running gear staying as is. Apart from eltronic ignition. Different carb. Manifold and already has different cam.

I really like this. I think it could do with a respray, either in white or as mexicansteve mentioned, anthracite grey. As for the rear side repeaters, get rid of them, they spoil the lines of the body!!!

Yes this is the one at tatton.
And yes the side repeaters are going god knows why some one has drilled a hole either side For them.
And actually amazed me how many people took interest in the car.
As for lowering it. Its on adjustable coil overs and I have lifted it as was to low
