The car has been garaged all its life hence the car has never been restored and is rust free after 33 years.
The only time the car is left out overnight is when I do a couple of long distance shows which due to KC mean I can no longer do the whole journey in the day.
The car only has a rear view mirror, no door or wing mirrors modern cars have so huge blind spots so I only drive it if I can correct the vision in both eyes.
My six year old Toyota did not fare as well as yours in the rust stakes. Early this year had the whole rear end re-sprayed under the six year anti corrosion warrenty!
Think I need a trophy cabinet!

Tiff is a far nicer bloke than Tony Mason.
Tony Mason comes on all knowledgable but when an error is politly pointed out to him, he just walks off in a huff!
Tiff is all smiles and asks questions and probaly knows far more about the cars he is asking about than he lets on.
Had a call from a magazine who wants to use my car as part of a road test! Just waiting for more details to come in the post.
