So an intro again after a few years away from the green oval.

We've had a couple of D1s and a couple of D2s..........and now we've "upgraded" to a 1997 90!

And first modification after getting it................something to try to help keep hold of it!!!

the Mrs drives it during the week, it's mine at the weekends

Yes, seemed to be quite a clean one for the age. Underneath all seems solid, and it drove the 50 miles home from Hemel Hempstead to Essex with no issues, even doing 70 when traffic allowed

The paint work has been touched up and sprayed at various times and there is a little overspray here and there. One wiper fell off on the way home, one sidelight is not not coming on and the doors are sometimes a struggle to get to latch.
However, i spent £150 on new lock barrels, new door locks, a central locking system, locking wheel nuts and strikers, wipers etc, etc and will enjoy tinkering for a bit.

Good exterior security, lights, camera action! The bits off it are very attractive to the scrotes. Never mind the vehicle as a whole. Maybe you can park another vehicle in front of it?!
Looks really nice by the way!
