Hi Paul,
Yes, she was a mess when I found her front bumper peering out from under a
pile of boxes ... but she is a RHD, manual, and 'Registered' in HongKong so
well worth all the hassle!!!
Also there was something "pre-destined" that I should own her ... she
appeared in the local HK English-language newspaper on my Birthday in 1991
for GBP30k. I was a poor wee Architect just arrived in HK from University so
couldn't afford her. I started seriously searching for her again in the
mid-'90s, and eventually found her.
Cheers, IAN
