Welcome to the club! That looks lovely inside and out. Looks like a custom finish console as there appears to be custom stitching going along it. Seats look really great too, someones given that car a lot of tlc!

You're not far from me either, i work in Uxbridge, if you ever see a 3rd gen (cough trans am cough), maroon with silver ground effects that'll be me :thumbup: I have a '79 Camaro which should be MOT'd around March time, so look forward to meeting up at Ace Cafe and other events!

Thank you! I wholeheartedly agree, she looks fantastic inside and out and I am very happy! I was gutted to sell the Mustang so it is nice to finally own another classic American :)

Uxbridge is very close, I live in Ruislip Manor so will keep my eye out for you. I have no allegiance to any particular brand as I just love nearly all classic cars, especially American ones, to me it doesn't matter if it is Ford, GM or Mopar, each has cars worthy of our adoration!

Yeah it looks pretty smart :) Not that I can take any credit for that, I just had the sense to buy it! :)

Interestingly while I was surfing the net and looking at American car dealer sites, I found details of my car under past sales from a garage which I assume sold it to the previous owner.

All I can say is thank god the interior was re-trimmed since then!! :)

I have the original magazine adverts from when mine was sold a few times in the uk along with all the original paperwork from the dealer who sold it etc. My friend had a car just like yours in the 1980's that was purple with a cream stripe down the side,looked the part 30 years ago! Next time I see him I'll get the reg number as in sure it is still about somewhere but with a new paint job, it might even be the same one you have :-)

Could be! I really don't have a lot of the past history so it was nice to find it on this site and learn a little more.

I know its been in the UK since 1984, and that the owner prior to the one who owned it before me has it for 17 years, so from about 1995.
