    Sure is! custom wheels about to be ditched and the rather scabby blue color. i think i remember that somebody had a plan to use it for weddings but 2doors just wasnt practical.somebody had also debadged the car which is proving near impossible to locate some of them.

    It was for sale in Galvins in Bandon for a while and I remember seeing it from the new Mallow road on the right before the turn off for Blarney leaving Cork.

    Thats where the oldman bought the car,drove it home,parked it in garage
    and i only recently decided to get it back looking respectable!. Galvins told me as much as they could about the car and thats about all i know at present.

    The last I knew of the car was owned by a guy called Power in Enniscorthy.
    I'm sure I have his number somewhere.
