Hello again everyone,
Thought I would start a thread on here showing the last 2 years of my ownership of my Beige Scimitar. I've currently got 5 Scimitars in my possession in various states of completion/disrepair (2 Se5a's, 2 GTC's and an Se6a).
Here are a few pictures of when I collected the car 2 years ago, it had been stored for 25 years in a leaky car port, used as a home for pigeons and a shelf for paint tins.
The paintwork turned out to be quite nice luckily, however to give it it's current shine, a lot of time and money has been invested in detailing!
The engine started eventually after a new fuel pump and fettling however after a month or two of light use and trying to set itself on fire, the engine the car came with (not original) turned out to be a dud, so I set about changing the engine and tittivating the engine bay (with a lot of help from a fellow RR member and Scimitar owner)
some before and after shots -
Anyway, here's how the car looks now, it's recently been on the Scimitar owners club stand at the NEC Classic car show and was featured in Practical Classics.
will post any updates as they arrive
