The pic of the cars was at the Cheddar Gorge meet the day I bought it.

Yes, It's still around a few subtle differences being the numberplate, wheels, boot build and No Carbon Bonnet and Boot.

Words cant describe what I think of this cav. This is the cav I always show people pics of when im at meets in blackpool and they are telling me to get something diffrent and get rid of my cav and most people say its stunning. I would do things to this cav I cant say on here cause I would look strange ha ha
