Did you see that a LHD black Jalpa just sold at the Silverstone Auction for about £78k? Don't forget to up your insurance!
Looks like a great job. Black cars are never easy to detail. How is the MCV?
No not the easiest, since then it went in to have some minor paint defects sorted which has turned into a back to metal repaint! Also having the interior retrimmed by the same person who did RobinD's 308 so it should be pretty stunning when it is finished.
Not had much chance to use the MCV but it is nicely tucked up in the garage under its fitted cover! Taking it out this weekend though, going to see an old school friend in Windlesham and we are taking his car mad eldest out for a run in it.
Did you fit the Larini x pipe and sports cats? It transformed my car.
Yes the MCV has a complete Larini exhaust including the manifolds, only bit remaining to be changed is the back boxes for valved Larini items which will happen in due course.
FD Springs?
Is your old detailing guy still around... as the old 3200GT could do with a good polish, I'm only down the road in Crick

Yes FD springs too

Do these make a big difference? I know people found them transformational for the early 4200s but interested to know if they're worth it on the already lowered GS?
I find the ride better in normal mode with the FD springs and the car also feels sharper in Sport mode, so yes I think they are worth it though I bought mine (brand new) from a fellow SM member who hadn't fitted them so I didn't pay full price.
Purchased this on eBay today to replace the far too modern head unit the Jalpa has at the moment. Brand new old stock with both inner and outer boxes, I think a Nakamichi radio cassette would be just the sort of radio a Jalpa owner might have bought back in the day!
