Welcome.
Emlyn's old R has been off the radar for a while, I wonder if it's his.

Thanks for old pics....I have just recently replaced all the interior from the gorgeous cream to black.....had a lad on here sell it me and fit it for me very helpful man ( dazza )

Nice looking car that, why change from the cream to black, I always thought the cream worked well with the red ones..

Post 706361 by frenchmastiff on 2014-04-25 13:47:38
I did think about not changing from cream but once you see it with black then it's massively obvious whoever thought up the cream colour must off been on some sort of sweedish herbs lol

my opinion on cream interior is if you dont wiork on your car yourself its great, if like me you do it will end up going manky

the best and the fastest :uglyhamme
Post 706436 by stribo on 2014-04-25 19:51:12
Hardly the fastest, it's cam cover's not fitted.

Don't know if anyone would be interested but the pegasus wheels on the car are being sold as I have my eye on a set of volans....the pegs are unfortunately a copy wheel I think as they are only 17inch but for just wheels no tyres I would like around 200 quid
Post 707778 by RollingThunder on 2014-05-01 08:38:29
Nice car. I loved the birch (?) wood that was offered with the cream interiors, but I'm with you on prefering the black... but I'd retain the IKEA birch just to be different lol.
This was my old 855R
