But i would love a touring car replica, the plain white with shell livery. Cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bye Ow do Daz, not sure on Manchester pal, I know the car used to be up in Scotland around 10 years ago, as I nearly brought it back then, but I decided against it as so blooming far away from me. Glad to have it now tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
