[Ernie]

Cheers dude, you'll have to pop in and see it when you are passing next.

Dave

[DaveMarshall]

Nice buy Mr Marshall, long time since we met up now!

Certainly been a few years, been busy building the business up, think my LET GTE has been off the road for about 5 years or so now.

Dave

[DaveMarshall]

Nice one. Good to see another Spider in the UK. Getting a bit common now lol.

Saw the pics of yours, certainly looks a tidy one. Any idea how many are in the UK now?

Dave

[DaveMarshall]

Nice one mate

Cheers

[Damoh]

Looks well!love the wheels for some reason i want them just for the coolness factor

[DaveMarshall]

Not seen you about in while Bert, nice purchase, must of been at a good price for all the effort mate!:thumb:

Been very busy with the business over the last few years. It was a good price, travel expenses cost a bit but was nice to get out the workshop for a bit.

Dave

[Novasport]

Saw the pics of yours, certainly looks a tidy one. Any idea how many are in the UK now?

Dave

There are five genuine RHD UK cars left(One is in NI), two LHD cars converted to RHD and three LHD cars including yours. So ten in total.

Make sure you check the floor well around the strengtheners as they rot quite badly there.

Cool, not many then. Will check the floor, thanks for that. I'm considering converting this one to RHD along with a fresh coat of paint.

Thanks, Dave.

[novacabrio]

It's been a while since someone's brought one into the UK!

the numbers are actually a bit higher than mentioned above. 6 RHD cars but only 5 remain left. One of the 5 is in NI as mentioned, 2 in my garage, one in Richards and one Rob with the sprint kitted one has also got a RHD car I tracked down in a garage last year.

As for left hand drive I know of at least 4 converted to right hand drive

My old one
Robs Turbo
blue 16v that a picture appeared somewhere years ago
White car that appeared at billing in 2002 ish that was listed on eBay with a sport engine last year

Then left hand drive

Karl gough with Gte kit
Elgans
yours

I think there could be one maybe 2 other left hookers over here but can't think at the moment, I think there maybe one more in Ireland?

[chris gsi]

Looks smart dave nice to see you back on here, and glad the business is doing well, what's the plans for the spider

[bazil]

I like the wheels :)

Cheers dude, plans are.

RHD conversion
Re-Spray
Genuine Nova sport twin 40's with Irmscher inlet and airbox
15 or 16 inch Irmscher wheels, still deciding what type
Possibly change the bumpers to MK2 GSI still deciding.
GTE/GSI/SR style seats as I can't stand the type that are in there.

Dave.
