KIMI 3 - 1984 Series 3

An opportunity arose to purchase A42 KLN, a series 3 with one lady owner from new and 67k on clock. I went to meet Tanya (the owner) today to view and test drive the car. We agreed a price and I will pick it up from her later in the week :D

The car is in VG, but, inevitably, time has taken it's toll and there are a few minor bits of paintwork that need attention. Mechanicals seem fine and corrosion seems comparatively good. The worst bit, cosmetically, are the wheels, which have been painted and corrosion is bubbling under the paint.

More photos and details later, when the car is with me at home :mrgreen:

By agreement with my better half, KIMI 2 will need to be sold in due course, so I can concentrate on getting KIMI 1 finished :)

Yep, plan is to bring her down to Simply Japanese at Beaulieu.

Gives me time to give her a thorough check over and fix a few minor issues I spotted on inspection and test drive. But, she drives beautifully :thumbup:
