garygjr8@msn.com 3 Posted July 18 no, she’s lovely and alive, just doesn’t drive anymore. I serviced it 7 years ago for first time when I ran a garage. I said let me know when you want to sell it as I want it. I’ve politely kept in touch since trying to keep up a gentle pressure. She’s not used it for years and only miles it’s done in last five years we’re me taking it for mot and service. It’s totally original and always garaged, it’s fantastic condition. no rust anywhere, just a few little marks that I’ve already sorted. I’ve added remote locking as I can’t live without it. Just got to sort the worn drivers seat. The foam bolster has failed on drivers seat base, but cloth is good. The seat upper bolster has worn through on the cloth. I’ll sort them myself, but after I’ve bought a seat to put in as a temporary. I’m going to enjoy owning and looking after it for a long while. I’m a classic car nutcase, I own too many, I buy what I like and this fits in a treat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

garygjr8@msn.com 3 Posted August 6 Finally found the time to give my XS a full polish, it’s when you get to know a car properly. I found no rust or brown stains anywhere, I was very pleased. Few little car park dinks, but nothing bad. And quite a few stone chips to touch up, but again nothing bad. I think it’s got most of its original paint. I did find a few edges where it’s polished thin or through, but I can live with that. so all I’ve got to do is fix the drivers seat, because it’s worn in the usual way.
