I am delighted to say that Nikela (formerly R6) has safely been transported to me today from up North.
The condition of the car is a credit to all those who put the effort in and worked on her. You could eat your dinner off the engine (not that I will try )
Sylvia, Jeff and David (and anyone else who was involved) should be so proud that they saved this wonderful GT from the crusher. I love the folder outlining it's history as well, what a nice touch. Suffice to say Nikela will want for nothing and will be treasured. Just took her for a spin and she drove wonderfully.
Thanks (and now please ban me so I can't see when R7 is ready)
Cheers all

Glad she’s gone to an appreciative home. Look after her, and I’m sure she’ll look after you.
I still miss those GT seats…. Utterly bonkers!
