Well this weekend I finally picked up a GLT I've been after for a while! I'm pretty damn pleased with the car as it turned out to be in very nice condition. It's an 89MY car so has all the kit including electric mirrors and rear speakers
The couple I bought it off had owned it since 1989 and 7000 miles old! It's now covered 54k after a near 200 mile trip home and even came with a book detailing everything down to fuel fill ups! I had considered dailying it but think I'll either use the V40 or buy a small diseasel as IMO it's too nice! Here's a quick phone pic, more to follow!

I don't usually like Mk3's, but that looks really nice.
Is it actually silver or is it Foggy Beige?
