Very, very nice! Congrats Al.

They remind me of the XR8 sprints, but EA styles.

Very very smooth there mate, nice pickup. Now is this going to remain a "stocker" or otherwise??

100% I couldnt take me eyes off it the other night, John I think the original purchase price reflects the quality of em , buy an EA and fork out atleast 12500 for all the options on AL's new beast

I have the deliverly sheets from Mick Webb at hoome I'll scan it and post it up.
TUFED6 - They got genie extractors and sports 2.5 inch exhaust. Some got engine work and I am guessing that mine was one, just by the way it pulls.

Very nice Al, and at a bargain of a price as well.

If it were mine I'd just clean up the interior (driver's seat as Niko mentioned and glove box lid looks torn), get some new headlights (looking a bit foggy there) buff it up and keep it nice and original on the outside, including the amber indicators. Actually I'd also dump it on it's nuts. .

After that go psycho on the motor and driveline! It's not hard to return that stuff back to normal with the amount of EA's at wrecking yards these days.

It is a nice tidy car. That was a good buy. With a rare car like an SVO I'd keep it mostly stock, and make sure that any mods you do can easily be reversed. Best of luck with it!
