Gave this old school beast a good wash and polish today.

The car belongs to my girlfriends dad and unfortunately he passed away a few months ago and so the car has to be sold.

He bought it as a weekend car a few years back as it was something he had always fancied. He has spent soo much money getting everything working and looking good.

I have enjoyed the car too, having taken it round cadwell park and was all booked to go to the nurburgring but couldn't attend as he passed away the weekend before we were due to go.

As it is now for sale, i thought giving it a few hours attention is the least i could do after all the memories i have with it.

He had just got some brand new alloys fitted which i think look awesome and deserved and polish.

Process -

Wheels cleaned with bilberry and various brushes
All shuts/hard to reach places cleaned with APC and brushes
Washed with simonez wash and wax with sheepskin mitt
Dried with microfibre cloths
Polished with AG SRP and megs applicator, buffed off with microfibres
Polished wheels with above
Tyres dressed with AG instant tyre dressing
Exhaust cleaned with autosol and toothbrushes
glass done inside and out with AG fast glass
Finished with Megs last touch
Interior hoovered out.

Heres the pictures -

Think its up for sale for £3500 with 68k on the clocks, pretty good condition.

Such a massive spec list - cruise control, climate control, abs, traction control, 6 pots.........

not sure on figures but you put your foot down in first/2nd or third and it will bury you in your seat.

cheers for comments
