I had a series 1 in the eighties which didn't have a spoiler and always thought it needed one.
I quite like it

That's a really nice looking car, front bumper chin spoiler and rear wing look great! And I love the rear end pic... s(c)

My only criticism is the suspension looks a bit high on it (even for stock)

Do we know much about it?

Hi Lee,
You're the owner of YVB 666V I think. Thanks for confirming you've still got it.

The interesting thing is FRA 666V in the immediate posts above is another 666V series 1.
