Wasn't that owned by topi? Looks ace. Prefer it in the bronze.

No, I did it white initially, then blue flake. It was originally a dull metallic blue when I got it. It makes me happy that it's still going strong (although it did look better in blue!)

The gold 230 260c passed from RatDat in blue flake to Mark, who painted it gold (I think its a Rover or Proton colour). It was then sold a guy called Martin, and from then on passed from pillar to post.
The red 330 280c was built by Col and now lives with a fella called Justin up Peterborough way.
Topi had the Nissan President that was built by Alex.
It was recently figured out that there are more 230/330 Cedric lowridered in the UK than there are stock ones left.

First saw that hopping down Christchurch High Street, I was in my KP30 and stopped for a chat while he bought some chips. Then it turned out he was a friend of a friend and I had actually dropped him off somewhen in Monza 1..
Small world.
He did the damage repair on my green 2300S and my mothers car and we use him for our work stuff when we can.

A very special car.
I too remember the Red Cedric from the 5ive video!
Can't decide if blue or bronze works more.

Ed, I first saw this at Trevelgue (RTTS) IN '99 (I think), It was parked on site just past the toilet blocks near the guys with the 120Y coupe that were there in the same spot year on year. Think you were with the early Toyota CROWN 'rider. I remember the Datty had a mirror ball hanging from the rear view mirror.
From that moment on i knew i had to get a lolo - it took me a while, but i got one, eventually.
Have you still got the 2 doored RV8 one you were working on?

I've always had a thing for a big J-Barge, when I was a nippa they were the cheap alternative to a yanktank. These days the price and scarcity means I'll just run Mercuns.
