History:

I bourght this car about 5 years ago, it had 2 previous lady owners to me. There was only 30k on the clocks, and the rear tyres were still from the factory :eek: So it was in PERFECT condition - Keith from ASW (rip) gave the car the once over for me and commented that I would never find an SR in better condition!

Ever since then shes been garaged over night. I commuted 10miles a day for a year, and from the 2nd year of ownership shes been my 2nd car, so only seen daylight on nice dry days ;)

Mileage is now 61500. The head, carbs, cam and shocks were all done about 3 years ago. The carbs being off a Nova Sport (very old now) were completely rebuilt by a specialist company September 2002 and are like new! The Quaiffe ATB diff was also fitted in September and is brand new!

Since this I have managed almost 16seconds dead at Santa Pod :)

All the body work is in good condition for a J reg car, and its all standard Vauxhall stuff, apart from the bonnet which has lots of lourves for extra cooling and a scoop to feed the carbs. But I do have a spare bonnet to go with the car which is the orginal part!

So come on people... someones got to be interested, or at least know some one???

:D
