Yes, I also like the way the number plate, the indicators and the yellow side strips for the heated rear window element co-ordinate. It's also fortunate that the previous owner fitted the stainless exhaust system and supplied me with some spares including the new number plate light, so the shiny bits at the back look right.

Tony,

My A310 is the car I bought from you in 2006.

Thanks, I also like that interior and was glad that I was able to retain all the original blue cloth when I stripped all the disintegrating foam from the dashboard components. I was able to re-foam these parts and then stick the blue cloth to the new foam.

Last Sunday I took it for its first 'long' trip to Donington Park for the Historic Festival and it made it there and back without problems. Here it is with two very nice GTA Le Mans at the event.

Yes, that's mine.
I came across this website myself some time ago and put the link on the C.A.R. Website.
Lots of nostalgia and makes you wonder where the majority of the cars have gone.

Nice day for a drive and big day for the A310.

Took the A310 to Halifax this morning for Andy to do the respray.
Looking forward to the transformation.

Hi Rob,

Yes, Gawsworth 2016 quite probably but not Gawsworth this year as that's only just over a week away.
Andy's going to do a proper job, not just a quick flash over. :D :D :D

Is it really only a week away? I am losing track of time! Might not even have the 5 back with new mot by then, so could be a Fiat day out if the sun shines :) Maybe Tatton Park end of May is far enough away for Andy to work his magic?

More likely to be Hope show on the 22nd June or Tatton at the beginning of July.
After Andy has finished, I have to reinstall the wiring back into the doors and refit all the interior and exterior trim. So there's a reasonable amount to do after the re-spray is finished.

Hopefully will all be back together by then, so yes.

Looking forward to Andy's progress reports on here, once he gets underway.

Yes, I'm going so see you there.

Was at the Donington Historic yesterday, it was freezing. Forecast for tomorrow is better.
