first time on the road in 37 years yesterday

Can I ask why the strut tops are painted body colour? Were they like that originally. Lovely looking car, had an Augbergine series 2 yrs ago.

because the engine bay was blasted and painted with the strut tops in place but they was removed yesterday painted black and new bolts fitted

Steve, It looked very nice when I saw you it this morning.

Made me feel old, because I remember the 1970 England World Cup Football all been given a white 1600 E, at the time. Terry Cooper (England and Leeds United left back) lived very near to us and as kids we would see him in it and wave.

Any one on here

Was on holiday in Cornwall this week and came across this Mex parked up.
Looks like it hasn't moved in months. It's got 7.5 RS alloys and a Janspeed exhaust and according to DVLA the reg. number is genuine.
Does it belong to anybody on here? Sorry quality not good but taken on my ancient mobile phone.
Phil.
