With a black bar reo and the black strip on the front and rear bars this thing would just be perfection incarnate.

Not having them done spoils it. Maybe I should get them done so I can send her off in style Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Very nice Calais, my favourite colour combo, along with Silver Slate. I might be chasing another VL in the next couple of years (if the bank and Mrs both allow me), something like this is what I'll be chasing. A nice clean example of a great model, to drive and enjoy, not sit in the garage needing a mountain of work done on it.

I want this car back so much! It has been nearly 9 years since I owned it and it was the best VL I have ever owned. Credit to James for keeping it so immac.

I've lost count of the amount of times I have seen a pic of it on Gumtree! haha I'm on the fence with the whitewalls. I like them with or without, but I just find the whitewalls give it a fresh look.
