Comments: This is my second G, my first being a black car I sold at the end of 06 to buy this car from PeteG40's Dad. Its a very well looked after example and still very tight. Its done just a shade over the mileage in the last picture now as it lives in the garage most of the time now. I was umming and arring about lowering it when I first got it but I think it will be staying standard ride height now with the standard wheels. I like the idea of keeping it looking completely stock. My only future plans are for a decat and an oil cooler. I also intend to replace the suspension with new standard springs on Koni shocks, but there is no massive rush with the car not doing mega mileage and the suspension that is on it not being overly tired. I would also like a respray in the next couple of years, pictures hide a multitude of sins! Anyway hope you enjoy the pics!

Ha forgot this was even in here. This should be coming out tomorrow for a service before being taxed on Monday. Might go to the retro rides meet in it Monday night. I sometimes forget how long I've had it.

Needs stock indicators

Enjoyed the bump :)

looking good :)

I'm gonna sound like an old fart but somebody has to try and preserve the originality of these cars so I salute you.

This is my old G60 which I tried to keep original whilst in my care.
