Turned to the dark side... or is it the other way around...

Hey all...

I've just swapped from my '09 SVX to a '56 plate S/C... and it's lovely! It's great being able to hold a conversation at 70mph!

Picked up a 36k miler is lovely condition with a ful LR service history. I've though about doing the usual 'facelift' thing, but I've decided that it's in such good condition, that I'm going to leave it well alone but treat it to a full professional paint restoration/valet. It's been cared for, but badly polished so it's quite 'swirley'. There are a handful of stone chips and minor scratches that'll get done too..

It needs a couple of things replaced: the clips that hold on the rear door weatherseals and a rear reflector, but that's it!

Other jobs to do: get it fully serviced, including the g/box cooler replaced and #thoroughly checked over, fix the 'venture cam' bracket/cradle as it's annoying me... Update the maps... sort out a Bluetooth update... Polish the door strips... Sort out the rear washer blockage...

The other thing is the ignition key... when the key is out, the mechanism makes a kinda weird 'buzz'.. will ask them to look at it next week...

Welcome, Karl. Thumbs Up

As Stan said, pics would be great. Look forward to hearing more. Si. <This is my name.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

Until then you'll have to imagine it's magnificence Wink

The buzz may be due to the mechanism becoming sluggish due to build up of dirt/corrosion etc. The lock operates the steering wheel lock and the cable and/or mechanism may need a bit of WD-40 or the likes Wink MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

I haven't had to do mine yet. I would typically target hinges and sliding surfaces and try to get it into the cable. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
