| Still, you wouldn't say no would you, considering you would pay as much for a good Boxed version of the Corgi 341 Marcos. |

the front end drivers wing has a hole in it too so there is going to be a fair bit of tlc needed on it!

Maybe you could convince the new owner that it needs way to much work and you would do him a favour by taking it off his hands.  |

Congrats on the purchase Garry,take a tip from me and don't let the guys on here rush you through the restoration, slow and steady is the way to go. 
Will you be leaving it Lavender ? |

it wont be staying that lovely rose colour, it says purple on the log book but its the reddy orange original gelcoat colour underneath!
the missus is coming up with the colour scheme but ive got a couple of plans!

| The reddy orange colour is the standard D & H "red" self-coloured gelcoat like 'foggy'. |

| That looks like red paint over the gel - you can see a couple of bits where it's been sanded thru. |
