Well said. They got it right from the start. I've got my Cabrio to take me back to my Mk1 days and I had my 20V Coupe for high speed cruising........I'm in mourning at the moment, first job tomorrow is get it up on ramps and find out what has happened. Judging by the bits I've picked up out of the road, it looks like I have snapped a drive shaft.

Mk1's have it all - looks, heritage, reputation, style, drivability - a true classic car.  No disrespect to the MK2, but you can't improve perfection.

Well the good news is that the gearbox is OK. It has sheared all the bolts that secure the inner CV joint to the gearbox  :o
New set of bolts and a CV boot kit should have it up and running again.......what a relief.
