On the subject of that SP mentioned above, just looked up the reg number with DVLA and it passed its MOT in November . Well done to whoever fixed that.
That vinyl trim looks nice, especially the straps with the press studs...

When the previous owner bought the car from Cropredy Bridge in 2008 he had it painted in BMW mauritius Blue, a genuine S4 spoiler fitted and re-trimmed by VBE Restorations in Sahara(Tan) leather supplied by Bridge of Weir. Whilst the paint had not stood the test of time the trim had and thankfully doesn't require much attention, other than changing the carpets, re-trimming the hoop/C posts in Tan leather and renewing headlining/cant rails etc. In 2008 £42,600 was paid to Cropredy Bridge for the car including the work on the body, paint and interior. During my restoration they have corrected the shortcuts taken in that earlier work, at that time "Toby" was probably one of the most expensive Interceptors out there.

I am hoping to make the Sunday of the International Weekend, Rejen Open Day if they have one this year, possibly Gloucestershire Vintage and Country Extravaganza and maybe the Powderham Castle event together with the Swiss trip in October

refurbished headlight surrounds, rechromed front bumper/overriders and registration plate fitted. Sounds straight forward but like everything else with these hand built cars getting the gaps to work was apparently a nightmare.
