Bought a wee classic

[ianking]

Had a real hankering for a tahiti blue and silver classic for some time. I have been waiting until a very late low mileage one came along.
Found this on Piston heads about 4 weeks ago.
Just hadnt got around to taking some pics.

April 2001 reg on a Y
16,000 miles.
2 previous owners. 1st guy owned it for 2 years and done only 800 miles or so. Second owner (primary teacher from Inverness) owned it since as a weekend car. I went up to Inverness on the bus to get it and drove it back down. Havnt really stopped driving it since as its great fun.











There are a couple things that I want to get done to it over the winter when its not getting used. There is some very light blistering below the head lights and also on the rear lower valance so will get that into the body shop. Want to get the right exhaust on it as it has a cheapy on it the now. If anyone has a good MPI back box then give me a shout.

I was 5 mins from there that will be why I saw it about. Nice place isn't it.


You should have taken time out to go into Harry Gows the bakers OMG best bakers ever I miss them:( :(

I actually met the seller in Inverness . She met me getting off the bus so that we were handy for going to the Royal bank as it was a Sat morning and Beauly branch wasnt open.
