I recognise that car. Looks just as good in the flesh.

Why did the first one get scrapped?

There is still some debate whether the first one was a genuine turbo. Its listed as a 420GSI, but i have receipts from when it was less than 6 months old that say repairs were made to bits only a turbo would have! It spent its first 3 years in germany, i think that may have caused confusion.

It was scrapped after an engine failure. I tried to sell it on for someone to repair but no one was interested! Moving house forced my to break it partly and scrap the rest. Still, it means i now have many parts in my friends scrap yard to fix my current one with!
