SearchHi everyone,
I purchased #249 last week down in Yorkshire, it now lives in Arbroath, Scotland.
I will be sending in my application for the FRP club to allow myself access to the full wealth of knowledge on tap.
Regards and thanks to Mogsmex for his help in my search for a realy good car.
Regards, Willie B.

Hi Chris,
No, The Alcon calipers are just painted Red, I suppose to match the Red Stuff pads that have been fitted

Hi Burfyboy,
Thanks for the interest.
Sorry for delayed reply been busy playing with my new toy.
I guess that a new set of discs and pads will be on the cards come summer time [ no judder yet but a bit rusty in a couple of areas], do you know what minimum thickness the discs can go down to?
Also need to get rear screen window wash water to come out of the nozzle, just seem able to get a trickle at the moment,and the courtesy light will not operate when the passenger door is opened --- I suspect a bad earth.
That appears to be the only requirements for the near future, although I will know doubt get through a few gallons of cleaning and polishing gear.
Regards, Willie

Big Boy Al,
Thanks for the help with the pictures, yes it is very good.
Spent the weekend under the car inspecting mechanics and checking for rust --- minimal amount to deal with.

Lovely looking car there. You bought this just before I managed to view it sadly! Hope the transaction with Redline went well.
I have my eye on a few FRP's and will soon be an owner fingers crossed! As a new owner to the FRP how are you finding it?

Hi Burfyboy,
Thanks for the interest.
Sorry for delayed reply been busy playing with my new toy.
I guess that a new set of discs and pads will be on the cards come summer time [ no judder yet but a bit rusty in a couple of areas], do you know what minimum thickness the discs can go down to?
Also need to get rear screen window wash water to come out of the nozzle, just seem able to get a trickle at the moment,and the courtesy light will not operate when the passenger door is opened --- I suspect a bad earth.
That appears to be the only requirements for the near future, although I will know doubt get through a few gallons of cleaning and polishing gear.
