IVAd last September. I've only done about 1100 miles in it. H reg Age related plate

It drives and runs very well .Low mileage (60K) 2.0L silver top with standard ECU and sierra running gear. It took 4 years and cost me about £5.5k to actually get it on the road. I appreciate that it's not going to be worth anywhere near that but it's something I always wanted to do.

Has a few very minor faults which I had intended to do after IVA but I didn't want to do them till this winter in case I wanted to use it. The fuel pump is occasionally noisy and I think it's too high so needs swapping positions with the fuel filter. Easy job.
The R1 exhaust is a bit tatty and I was going to change it for a Stainless from a Bandit. I haven't put high enough chip plates on the back arches so the paint is chipped higher up. Original centre mirror hole needs filling and new paint. (It fell off officer!)
The bonnet was a work in progress and is painted black because I wanted to see what it would look like.It has some minor paint bubbling from the engine heat.

I have all paperwork inc IVA copy,receipts and a list of all the new parts used.
