Envy is a terrible emotion and sadly one from which I am suffering right now. Dammit, that's gorgeous! Think I'll take out shares in Brasso.

Re: New toy ...
Wow oh Wow. More details please. I restored a Series 2 Seven but hardly got to use it with the weather over here and family life so sold it on. Hope you get more use out of this one.

Re: New toy ...
I had this car on my watchlist for about 2 months here in NZ when it was with the previous owner that Bains bought it from , wasnt really my thing , but given the condition and climax engine it did get my interest.
Shame it's left NZ , but Bains were always going to struggle to sell it on again here , buyers here all know each other and don't like guys 'flipping' cars , that's why there really isn't a classic car dealer market here. Very different to the UK.
Very nice car.

Re: New toy ...
Thanks.
Bains had it on consignment - I bought it directly from the owner who lives up near Nelson.

Re: New toy ...
That's good , glad , as they were really looking to profit.. Still sad to see great cars leaving but I am as guilty as anyone of moving cars around the world. Some of the cars I have bought and sold would have had full passports by now!
I hope you enjoy it.

I would imagine you will need to know exactly what's round the corner when driving that.
I know nothing about them so cant comment on the purchase and looking to be educated.
