Ah I recognise that car! :) Looks good. Not sure I'd bother stripping the interior though, it really doesn't weigh that much. I used to live in Brum but have now moved to Coventry. Is there much work to be done on the car? It looked in a bit of a sorry state recently on eBay compared to how it was

Hi I only needed to do a couple of small welding patches and free off the park brake for the mot.
Yeah I won it on ebay a couple of weeks ago :-D
Was the previous owner a member on here?
Needless to say I'm loving every minute of driving it, especially in this rain we keep getting and my welded Diff makes it so much fun lol

Hiya,

I was the previous owner before the guy you bought it off :)
Nice to see the 300 is now in good hands!! Although looking slightly different to when I owned it.
Hope he treats you well! :wink:

Hopefully that photo works :)
That's what it looked like when I owned it. Had full original interior and just satin black wheels, with just a few stickers on the windows. The paintwork always used to come up nice once you spend some time on it, pretty good considering it's 30 years old!!
