This will be my third mk1. In 1986, I had a mk1a, in 1999 I bought a too-rusty 1989 mk1b, which rotted away in 2001.

Now I'm back for more, and am getting some restoration work done on a 1987 mk1b before delivery.

I'm in Skye.

Looks very tidy, what wheels are going on it?

That looks a lovely example. You must be very proud.

@KateG28 no credit to me. Dafydd Crisp (user gafr21) and his team at http://superbclassics.co.uk did all the work.

I have four 195/50/15 Yokohama AD08 tyres on Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s rims. Am hoping to goodness they will fit. I need to work out what size spigot rings they need and then pray the ET will be correct. The car is in South Wales still just now, until Tue.
