Hello all,
After 3 1/2 years of talking about it and boring everyone I have finally bought a Gransport!
It is the red one listed on pistonheads and as usual with me bought the first one I saw.
shiltech carried out a pre-purchase inspection for me and reported it was a good car with few minor things to note, one being an oil weep from the power steering pressure hose. (Caused by the bracket on the front of the engine chaffing on the steel pipe as it was missing the mounting rubbers) - worth checking everyone as the pipe is cheap but replacement requires inlet manifold to come off.
This oil weep developed into a leak within the first 24 hrs so repair is now included in a service now at shiltech!
Anyway the car is simply awesome, I'll post some pics when it's back from service.

I'm a local compared to Robert but still a good two hours away (slightly faster on the way home when the traffic's eased off) but it's well worth the run. Hope to see you there!
