Yes it is the ex-Mr Walker Car and condition wise it will be mint as they have replaced, quote "everything below the waistline"
I see it refered to as a sweet looking motor, which it was, but having seen the post strip down pics it was f*cked. It really shouldn't have had the MOT I bought it with.
However they are real professionals, just look at the past stock list, so I'm sure it will turn out, quite literally "like new"
Wanna 356!

hi Simon - don't know if you received my reply re details of my 356 outlaw/gt as the message didn't seem to leave my outbox even though I tried a number of times ! if not and you'd like details please send me a message with your standard e-mail address and I'll forward the information to you there. Steve
I remember when Lee and I came to look at her - I was soooo tempted but we could see so many of the bad repairs that had been done in the past.sprintstar67 wrote:Yes it is the ex-Mr Walker Car and condition wise it will be mint as they have replaced, quote "everything below the waistline"

BUT she was a real gem with so many original bits and a lovely character - I'm really glad she's been sorted - and £38k is fair money if they've sorted everything properly.
Nice to know another one survives

Funny enough I've just a had a look this week, as I happened to be seeing a customer in Bourton!
Other than the bits which were bubbling through the paint and the sills behind the carpet, the shell was actually very straight and accident free. And no it hadn't had the front end replaced like you thought Phil! They've replaced both sills in their entirity, plus the entire floor, inner wing splash panels etc.
The only thing that bothers me is the small detail repairs which look a bit "rushed" but I'm told the body shop are going to finish all these details when it goes for paint this week.
I'll post some pics when I work out how to get them off my new phone!
