Many thanks Ed and Nick for all your hard work putting this together.

Simply French at Beaulieu today and RB was well liked in the mix. There was a Trophy in the car park area, anyone on here?

Thanks guys. Not had time to drive it much as the weather has been awful since I picked her up. The colour definitely suits the car.

RB is back and currently resting in the garage next to #151 until her next custodian takes possession. Being a stubborn sod on a mission Im determined to have a small light car to enjoy down in Spain. Well if the rubber stamp jobsworths want a more modern car in an OEM condition then let’s...

Luckily i managed to bag my copy in the Bournemouth Tesco Superstore before Ed got there😎

Hats off to you guys for doing this. Im involved in the yearly 350z forum calendar and the members absolutely love it. Very happy to put my name down for an A4 or desktop version.

Let’s hope so

She looks in fine fettle Ed!

Thanks Nick. After all the hard work and fettling I was so looking forward to driving her for many years in Spain.

Many of you guys know why my lovely RB is up for sale. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions regarding history or the work I have done. My build thread is on the CS forum. https://cliosport.net/threads/racing-blue-ff-%C2%A36495.850415/#post-12596691

Thanks Craig. Another honest update on the trials and tribulations of owning a cherished RS car.

Thanks Nick. She was going to be my keeper fun car in Spain but it’s not to be. Once she gets home next month I will put her up for sale.

After all the hard work trying to pacify the Spanish jobsworths it’s not happening. Even with all my various documents providing the parts are NLA they will not matriculate unless she is fitted with new OEM Renault springs and a full exhaust system. (Just pull a unicorn out of my arse)...

Sachs refurbished once during this massive mileage. As suspected they like to keep on moving!

That’s bloody awesome! Puts us low leggers to shame.

Awesome scenery and quiet roads. Unfortunately down here in Dorset the New Forest has a blanket 40 mph limit and every other car has a caravan hanging off the back!! 😡

Thankfully the headlights passed so the legendary internal lever does work! Going for the retest on Monday armed with my documents so fingers crossed.

My 2 Genuine drive shafts still in their boxes are probably worth more than #151😂

Lovely to see this. Hopefully you can get out and enjoy her this summer.

I’ve posted on my RB thread but thanks so much Marc for your assistance in sourcing the information to try and matriculate my car In Spain.

An update on RB. After my fruitless search for an interesting Classic within budget I’ve decided to get the car matriculated onto Spanish plates and rest out in the sun. The process is incredibly difficult now we are out of the EU and the fees have gone up 3 fold. Before you can apply for the...

The input from you guys over the past couple of days has been excellent. I’ve just put the socket set away. The Sachs are staying on the car.

This is a terrible position we all find ourselves in. Do you take the Sachs off the car, box up and hope they don’t dry up before you sell while running on standard dampers? Or do you say sod it and enjoy the car as intended and hope they don’t start leaking?

If it’s as good as a Remington Fuzz Away im in….

Joking apart if the tyres have decent tread and not 20 years old then I’d say £600 + Recently sold a set of 172 cup with the greater offset for close to that figure.

Got back this afternoon. Fantastic weather as always. The Matriculation process is underway for RB. Hopefully when I go back next month she will have her new plates so I can finally explore some of the best roads in Europe.

Had my T ceramic coated a couple of years ago and it’s a no brainier. The colour seems more intense and she still beads up like I’ve just waxed her.

Another trip to Espania. She is dusty but looks in good condition. When was the last time you saw an MG Maestro in the wild!

Need to attend this at some point as the mix of cars is top drawer. My brother was there this morning in his M5 comp. He had a good chat with Chris Harris last time. Ticket only event.
