[craig]

Car looks fantastic mate, nice work!

Where'd you find those 1970's buses?

[shinny]

Just... wow! This car is absolutely gorgeous... everything has been done right. Really a big fan of the Blue over white details.

Cracking photos aswell... love the ones with the bus. Great spot!

What do you mean? Those two beauties are still driving routes around Reading on a daily basis!

She's so nice!

I almost ended up with a Caribbean blue for my first SW20.

How did you do / where did you get the blue doorcards? Lovely touch.

Thanks

They were fitted by Flamby, the previous owner... or more specifically, he paid and LSC interiors did it all for him. However I believe LSC have stopped trading now

[synXero]

Gabbat & Brown are supposedly the go-to people for old customers of LSC!

The wheels are genuine 17" Volk TE37s staggered 7J / 8J wrapped in 215/40/17 and 245/35/17 Falken 452s. Unfortunately the offsets are unknown as for some reason they're not stamped on ANY of the wheels

[shinny]

Clean car, sunny day, couple of hours to kill... yup, the inevitable happened:

Hi, I appreciate this is an odd ball question, but I wanna get things in my car right,

What size is your front number plate, as mine is an import but the previous owner has fitted a uk length plate and it just looks wrong,

Thanks in advance

Fantastic, thank you very much,

I don't suppose you know a good place to get them and wether their still road legal and would pass mot??.

Of course they're legal. Although now-a-days you need to provide V5 to get a completely legal number plate, which will include details of the company who made it. However, on an older car like ours, you could easily blag the fact that the number plate must have existed before the current number plate rules came in.
