I am so jealous. But glad and enthusiast bought it.
This looks like the Square off of evilBay.
(Darn... outbid again)
I look forward to more pics of your improvements.
If it moves salute it, otherwise paint it white.

It ended on Ebay last night - sorry I outbid you :oops: , but it will be SO well loved here!! :D

Will just be getting it through an MoT first up (hoping that with a clean and a service it should go straight through), and then will be looking towards a scrumptious respray next summer, but will be thoroughly enjoying it in its slightly ratty state in the meantime! 8)
