Great car, previous owners were on here at one point in the past.
I remember the discovery of the note being published on here.
Fingers crossed it finds a new owner

I was going to buy this car when it was on ebay a couple of years ago. Phoned the seller to confirm the time I was going to arrive on the following day, he told me that his wife had gone behind his back and sold it the day before. As you can imagine I was not happy, in fact I was livid
.
Looking at it now and it hasn't got a good mot history,

Nothing major, just every year since 2014 its logged a failure, which indicates to me that it hasn't been maintained by an enthusiast.

Oh, I totally agree, I suppose I'm still pissed at missing out on it, in the past.

I am reliable informed that this car has now moved on to a new owner.
Maybe they will make their self now at some point

Sorry, I don’t understand? May be it’s the extra confusion caused by coming off my Happy Pills

Hi Dean. It’s reassuring that this historically significant Tomcat is in safe hands.
I can’t wait to see the photos!
