It's Entwood's old car, don't know how many hands it has been through since Nigel sold it, but he was pretty meticulous about looking after it, so would have been strong starting point for the subsequent owners.

The past owners certainly haven't been 'meticulous' in its care by the look of it - looks pretty sh*t to me and in probably the worse colour (imho of course...)

Not trying to judge (honest  ;D).... but looking at the faults that it now has and the location, I think I can guess the direction of travel that that vehicle has been going for the last few years and it isn't forwards in a straight line.

Shame it has ended up looking a bit rough. Entwood spared no expense or effort keeping it immaculate.  :(

Yes hope he doesn't see this thread. He'll be heartbroken!  ::)

Although I've just checked and he last logged in in February 2021.  :-\

It was near mint when he sold it inspite of regular touring holidays towing the burger van up and down French France. I have only seen a single picture and the only visible change from that picture is the standard early elite wheels painted black.

Jewish Racing Gold may not be a common choice, but it was a very well presented car.

If I remember correctly, Sambo bought it from Nigel. :-\

I met Nige for a pint (In Swindon I believe). Feels like yesterday but was probably 15 years ago. Lovely, genuine and decent bloke, I really hope he is OK, even if his pride and joy has now been ragged!
