Hey Craig!
Prepare for the most exciting time of your life! I bought mine this time last year, and it arrived in June. It is unbelieveable when you eventually have it in the driveway.
Get on to Wainwrights as soon as possible to organise getting your car. I found them extremely helpful. The guy we used even went out of his way to go down to the docks and check on my car (cant remember his name, but he was really helpful)
 
Hope everything turns out good, and your happy with the motor!

Hi,

well done, congrats on getting your D' :-) I'm sure we all felt the 
same - mine was only a few short months ago and I still haven't 
stopped smiling. It will seem an eternity until 5th of June ... 
fingers crossed no delays !!.

- Aug 82 build would be classed as 83 for registration purposes in 
the UK of course, but I don't know if it works the same in UK? - the 
vin number / date sounds wrong though - I suspect its prob Aug 81 - I 
say this because mine is a later VIN 6772 and is NOV 81 ? still, 
you'll see when she arrives 

Cheers
