I managed to get a look at the 66 Coupe I bought from Ebay today. Went over to pay for it as it's supposed to be picked up and delivered tomorrow

It's tucked away in the car park but 1st impressions are that it's pretty cool!

All looks fairly complete, and in reasonable condition given the history,

Looks like a bit of a hole in the boot!

Looking forward to it getting here now.

Here here, I second that having spent over 2 months waiting for a front windscreen to be made. The rubber gaskets are used only, they are no longer in production. Nice car and nice sticker collection. It's missing an ED sticker but that is easily rectified
