45K is a lot of money but as Winu said he spent 7 years doing the cars up, enjoyed the whole experience, has two lovely cars to show for it and learned loads. How many people spend that kind of money buying one car never mind two.
And on top of that he shared the experience with us which I for one enjoyed following.
Winu well done for getting your two pride and joys in the mag and hope you have many more years driving them.
