It’s been a while but spotted a white Scala on an F plate driving into Bamburgh just after lunch today. I followed you in the red TT for a couple of miles until you turned around.

Managed to get a quick shot of this very tidy (and rare now) GTL being used as a daily driver in Sainsbury's car park, Spalding:

However, the back seat base was missing, perhaps has some fueling issues and was removed for fuel sender / tank access. Lets hope he sorts her out. I see it regularly around Spalding.

This is my car.I actually work at West Coast(we do a bike meet on the last Thursday of the month through the summer) and get a few american and classic cars attending. It's a running restoration which I purchased 18 months ago. Main area's requiring attention are suspension (replace the cheap coilovers) and bodywork/paintwork.
