Mileage:	3182 when bought (but not the original mileage)
Colour(s):	originally Forest Green
Current Location:	United Kingdom
Record Entered:	22/05/2012
Last Updated:	21/12/2012
Notes:	Bought this unseen off eBay for my nipper to learn to drive in. Flew to Scotland to collect it and drive home to Southampton fully expecting to have to get at least part of the way on the back of a recovery truck. Couldn't take any tools so I trusted to a spare can of petrol and five litres each of oil and water bought from the first petrol station I came across, and bimbling home at a sedate speed. That didn't last long though because she was such fun to drive!! And she made all 520 miles under her own power too :)
Modifications:	A new coat of paint that is considerably less drab/more green than the original. She's obviously had a sport engine put in her at some time in the past because although its a standard engine in there now, there are the sport exhaust, driveshafts and modifications to make it a 'sport' engine lid still present. Dec '12 - I've put a sport head on now too, so she 'goes' a little bit more :0
Accolades:	The first 520 miles I ever drove her without a problem with no preparation other than a polish.
