Was power washed and sponged down with wax washing liquid stuff about a week before, and wasn't used much between.

Thanks :)

Thanks guys :) In case any of you didn't know it was originally my grandads, and he looked after it really well. Unfortunatly he died around 97 and it stayed parked up for a couple years.

Then when our mk2 360 GLS failed the MOT it came into use as a second family car. Before we got it I wouldn't be suprised if no one had sat in the rear seats :lol: It only gets used a couple times a week for short journeys which may not do the engine much good but everything is in pretty good condidtion

I'd like to take it to the VOC national, see if I can take the best kept 300 award from foggy ;)

Pity it's so far away, and of course there's membership to pay as well :(
