I have done a lot of work to my car, in picture. But have no idea what people are looking for. Seen so many ads saying “untouched original parts”. Mine has got improved parts but has a few cracks on bumpers. Is it worth fixing aesthetics over mechanics? The car is mechanically sound but looks a bit aesthetically tired.

Why do you think there's a problem buying petrol?

I don't think so there is...
Running something that does 8mpg is a select market

They do and that's fact
Seen them right down there towing a heavy trailer.
At best empty on a run they do 22mpg

A cracked bumper on an D2 isn’t bad.
A missing bumper on a D2 might be an issue.

So, were about in the UK was you using your V8 for towing ? Somewhere very hilly i expect, and pulling a very heavy trailer.
