Welcome Dave, where abouts in Scotland are you? I understand alot of owners of 300s live up there and are part of Friends of the 300. Any pictures of your new car?

Reason you recorgnise it Mick is it's the one the guy from the classic car mag was selling a few weeks ago... looks like it'll be a tidy motor!

Was this car in the magazine?? I know it was bought for a charity challenge to drive to Germany and back for under £500. If so which magazine? :o

I don't actually think it was in the magazine (correct me if I'm wrong!) but was sold by Peter Simpson, from the classic car magazine.
