Time to let this baby go.
I've had it since late 2009 when I bought it from the UK & had it shipped out. It's an almost ten year old restoration being completed by Chris Palomba in the UK. Since owning it, I've done very little to it except cherish & enjoy it. It's pretty much the same as when it was completed back in 2007.
Being a ten year old restoration it has a few minor paint issues but overall represents really nice. It always bring a smile to my face when I drive it. It's been a really fun car to own. But alas, it's time for it to live on with it's next owner to keep enjoying.
