Hi there,
Is that an aftermarket steering wheel shroud? If so I like it, it looks weel fitted and retro. Lovely car. Same colour as mine, will post a few more recent shots now. Interested in your opinion.

Craig,
Your car is beautiful. Nice to see my car's long-lost cousin in Scottland! Love the way you have your front bumper tucked in close. Looks great.
In response to your question about my car's steering wheel cover -- yes, it is an aftermarket cover. It only cost me about $5.00 USD, at my local auto parts store.
The key to a good fit is to lace it up very tightly and to take time to arrange the lace evenly around the wheel. Too many folks try to rush putting those on and the lace tends to look sloppy and get loose -- then they really look awful.

Westy64,

My car is the same colour and I have never been quite sure if I liked it.

Seeing your car has made me a believer! Looks great! I think my problem is lack of attention to detailing.

Thanks for the photo!

That Burgandy red (or is it more Bordeaux ?) is definitely very nice !
It is deep, and catches the sunlight perfectly.
I look forward to putting my prima donna back on the road to watch her shining again !!!

I hope you don't mind that I pasted your shots in. It such a pretty car, you should be able to see the shots right away :)

A righty. Converted? It's kind of weird to see the dash flopped. :) Is that a modified dash?
