    Beautiful. Always fancied a convertible when I was younger. And I don't know if it was subliminal- but I sensed the Dark Side- The Restoration will be Complete......

    Obi Sean, absolutely lovely paint finish. Where has the restoration taken place? USA? Is that a clear coat finish, or single stage?
    Very, very nice, old chap.
    Looks to be space inside the body for a few gadgets from Q Branch...

    The car looks fabulous. Great job.
    Seeing your post I thought I would share my budget DB5 also!!
    Repainted in Silver Birch. I am working on the gadgets at the moment. I have revolving number plates and a fake gear knob and a multitude of switches to fill the "arm rest" with. Hope you like it!

    That's lovely, never seen a P1800 in that colour, it looks great.

    All wonderful cars but I really love the Volvo P1800, I've loved it since
    watching the Saint many years ago, and agree that's a beautiful colour. -{
