Yup, James owned it then I got it off him when he went to live in London. I stored it for a while at my place then let a guy "who wanted to restore it" have it  next time I saw it was the pic above. To be fair it was very rusty by then but it would have been repairable. structurally it was sound but the rear arches were shot as the were to bottom of the wings and the back panel behind the bumper. To be fair-ish (although I wish it hadn't been bangered) getting parts for repair would have been a total curse word! Still want one. |

Believe it not, at the time my mate James had the car you could actually get new wings from Mitsubishi! They made that shape Debonaire well into the 80's apparently. It would still have been a lot of work though. |

Mind you that was 8 or 9 years ago so they might have got rid by now. Apparently they had one working one and another in bad shape. |
