A friend of mind has a gold SEC500 with the factory Lorinzer body kit fitted, I believe it was his Dad's car, it too was passed down when his dad passed.

It's such a bittersweet feeling. I'm chuffed to bits that I've got a lovely car that was my dad's and to feel like I have a bit of him back is amazing, but I also wish that he was here to see it.

He was here for rhe first 2 years of restoration, but he never got to see her finish. It was a very emotional drive back yesterday, not to sound like a complete plum, but I feel incredibly lucky that we were able to finish the work and get her home.

That is a lovely car MrsK. Really a credit to your dad for hanging onto her and to you for finishing the work needed to keep a lovely classic car on the road. I was in school in the 80's and a class mates mum drove one. I looked in Envy all the time. You have a special car there clearly with great memories, so my only advice is to drive as often and as far as you can!

I travel down to Derrick Wells normally twice a year, from the North Norfolk Coast. I have Heinrich's oil Changed, inspection etc in June, and his Main Service MOT in December. Any defects, I take him down, and they are always on the phone,
They are very good there, and it's always a hard task to get Heinrich to leave and come home afterwards.
