Found this on pistonheads in february to replace my graphite one i bought it and went to

scotland to collect it with my dad in early march








We drove it home 470miles and it was great especialy for an auto wich id never driven before.

Very nice motor Jimbob. You got any plans for it ??

Looks much nicer with the chrome kidney grill. Very nice looking car.

cool car mate are u gonna restore it.

nice car. Didnt this belong to a forum member in birmigham. A mate of mobsters.
Or am i confusing both cars

Yup same car. I think he did alot of good work restoring that car to a very high standard. He sold it as he wanted a manual. I supplied quite a few parts for this car incl the front spoiler, motorsport steering etc

apart from the stoopid head lamp wipers that looks really nice.
how much did you part with for it?

yep was zafs car,got a few things planned.ive got a manual box prop and peddles to swap onto it
and i was thinking about putting the chrome trim back. the headlight wiper systems complete apart
from the motors wich is a shame so they will be coming off(zaf ebayd the motors and i missed the end of the auction )

Got some pics in the sun














had a nice 50 mile drive yesterday and managed to run out of petrol had to walk a
mile to a garage
great drive though

Beautiful car! The shadow line + black rims works great.

thanks mate just painted the centres of the wheels and it does realy make a diference
i think im going to do the sills black too

I love gold e21's such a nice retro colour. Can't believe they're the same wheels, look the business.

thankyou the wheels were a nightmare to mask off but it paid off in the end.
i used coke and tinfoil to shine the lips up cant believe it worked it got rid of
the piting too

Oh dear. You're going to have to explain the Coke and Tin Foil technique now - very intrigued!

ha ha i know it sounds weird. i tried a few wheel cleaners and they wouldnt
shift the black corrosion marks from the lips. i saw it on mythbusters once
so thought id give it a go, just screwed up tinfoil dipped in coke i gave it a
rub and hey presto cleaned them up lovely
