That's very nice. Nicer than the one used in Practical Classics' current feature.
Is it the cloth or leather interior?

Love these. Nice wheels for one too. Crying out for some slammage though. I'm guessing its on new springs perhaps? As I can't remember seeing one so high.

If this were mine (I wish! ) I'd be looking for a set of slightly higher profile tyres, probably 205/60's. This coupled with a small drop and decent dampers and bushes would help retain the lovely ride these have whilst improving the arch gap and overall stance. What's the story behind this one? Is it all original or has it had a resto? I see it's a Ghia but is it injection or carb? Hurry up with some better pics, it's nearly 24 hours since you posted this up and I'm getting impatient!! We NEED the following pictures: Interior (front and rear) Dashboard Underbonnet Boot area Various exterior shots from all angles (preferably at a picturesque location) ;D ;D

Always wanted one of these. One day, just one day.... Looks a lovely motor, wheels arent my cup of tea to be honest, i love the standard alloys too much!

Very nice indeed ;D Looks exceptionally clean, has it had any welding/bodywork done on it? Miss my old 2.8 carb lump
