Taa Daa ! Monsier Aubergine ready for CLM

Post by revo »

After about 6 months of light restoration work Monsier aubergine is complete and ready for CLM
Final cleaning and polishing was carried out yesterday by my son and I. my son has OCCD (obsessive car cleaning disorder) which means he has far more patience and is far better at it than me, which as far as I am concerned is fine.

Pictures taken this morning in sunny Essex.

All work carried out by consummate professionals and I am dead chuffed with it.
Looking forward to driving it now.

Roll on CLM

Nice,
One of the best colours. Truly at home on the continent, one of the most popular colours delivered to Italy (with tan). Have a great, safe and enjoyable trip.

(I actually quite liked it with the red wheels too for some strange reason)

Regards
Mike
