Still came up well, not concours well though :) I did that in about an hour....

The problem with the GTE was being kept outside for a year after you got rid of it, any small weaknesses it might have had even when you had it came out pretty quick...

Needed permanent garaging.

The car was not garaged in the 15 years i had it so it was down to neglect, you can keep a car tip top if you look after it , it does not have to be in a garage.

I saw the state it was being driven around in from time to time in work

[peester]

hmm.. d'ou been told..

Fair one, but as the car gets older the more vunerable it gets...

I don't disagree with you, but my point was even if it wasn't looked after, if it had been garaged it would have stayed in better condition.

Its still is (sorry was) a mighty clean GTE, even if not concours.
