I know its not a Limited Edition But I Got a City E
Keeping it pretty much original
Might even keep these stripes down the side

thats quite an early 1 citys are on the decline!!! more and more getting scraped

I think its just as nice to see a nice original mayfair, city or sprite as it is to see a limited edition.

[project mini chris]

ive seen a few on the road! have you done any mods to it??? or is it original??????

[Charliebird]

Studio 2's we haven't seen a lot of.... Think many of those get modded to...

I don't mind the modding but I can't tell to take a pic at a show!!

Unfortunately, I have to confess to mine not being original. While still the original colour and badged up as a Racing Green the Wheels (they do look standard form a distance), Interior, Roof and Front Grille (I think) are not original. The only thing I will say is that none of these modifications have been done by me, and I do intend to keep the exterior standard looking and badged as a Racing Green.

Ah but there's nothing there that couldn't be put back to standard.

I'm not against modding them by any means, I still add pics of those that look nothing near original to the galleries, I just choose to only make mods that I know could easily be put back to standard.

My BOC currently has an Equinox interior, however the original is still in the loft!

[brightpink]

i have a racing green, now pink with different engine, different interior and a cooper steering wheel (not got round to putting the pink one on yet) the only thing that is original is the green paint on the inside and in the engine bay.

when i got it wasnt in the best condition so made it my own.

Theres more and more Ltd Editions dissapearing every day
I dont know what i find more upsetting seeing a pimped car that was once a Ltd Edition or seeing an Ltd Edition interior in another car which means yet another one has either been modified beyond recognition or gone to the great scrapyard in the sky

About 12 years ago i nearly bought a Ritz it was looking very sorry for itself so i walked away and got my clubby instead,that cars probably been scrapped now

Theres allways the more desirable Ltd,s like the 25,open classic,designer,advantage etc that seem to get saved but i do hope some of the following get saved in Original Spec Condition

I think emmalee made us all sit up and think when she restored her Sky
And Knebworth has now decided to return his Chelsea to Original Spec

Red Hot
Jet Black
Racing Green
Chelsea
Piccadilly
Ritz
Park Lane
Studio 2
Sky
Rose

Even the Sidewalk with what had to be the most disgusting interior ever!!

Even some non limited editions from the 80,s need saving because they are dissapearing too like
Early City/City E
Early Mayfair
HL/HLE

Anybody think of any others im sure theres other Ltd,s but cant think of them all at the Mo

Well I’ve got a rare Areg 25 which very almost nearly ended up on the road to being butchered.

The 89 Mayfair on the other hand, well the only thing left on it original is the roof, but it was pretty much scrap when I got it, so it’s was either restore it into something I wanted of scrap it for good.
