Hello! New to old cars... 6 years 11 months ago #178267
I've been lurking a week or so after semi-inheriting a TF from my grandad.
It is a 55 plate with 72.5k on the clock. Not sure how it was driven in the past (his driving of a safer car was actually terrifying) but filled it with Ultimate and drove it a little harder than normal and performance improved perceptibly. The poor thing was parked out side, and that has taken it's toll on the soft top (cat hair from the neighbour's moggy (removed using lint roller), the black has faded unevenly and stained from who knows what), and the paint has some scratches. There is work to do on it, but it's my first mid-engine "fun" car rather than day-to-day motor. No pressing questions at this moment it time (watching a bunch of video on Youtube on proper cleaning and scratch removal).
It's now homed inside a garage in north Hertfordshire, and comes out for some kind of cleaning and a drive most weekends.
