Nice one Roge, a bit more exposure can't be a bad thing as the actress said to the...... :D

Nice to see other peoples viewpoint/impressions of a car you drive everyday in print. Hopefully will persuade more insurers to allow it on 'Classic' car policies too.

Go on Steve, it's cheap at twice the price and you know if it's from the WD family stable it's got to be clean!

Lol, on all the previous MOT's that came with the GT there was an advisory for 'only 1 foglight functioning'. Luckily our local MOT station has seen enough 480's over the years to know better!

Got a full working spare foglight of a scrapper in the sparesbin if you want Esta.
