The most interesting car at the AutoSport (NEC) Show

Discovered in a bombed out garage in Beirut - very rare RS with just 29000 miles on the clock. Sympathetically restored by Autofarm leaving bodywork in 'damaged' order - mechanicals all restored.



It was hilarious to listen to the bollocks spouted by passers by who hadnt taken the time to read the blurb - one guy told his 'missus' that it was to show "before and after" and pointed at a black Cayman parked next to it stating "it'll end up looking like that when they have done with it" whilst another described it as a "fixer upper" :) :lol:





An amazing vehicle... :)

..."that doesnt look like its worth fixing" was another :lol: that was then followed by "oh look at that nice (new) mini" (on the Pistintheheads stand)

Yes :) Reportedly the owner was kidnapped and murdered in 'the troubles' :( He raced/rallied it before its/his downfall. Ordered by him without the usual ducktail too..
Truly awesome, and great to see that finally enough people are beginning to see that as found is sometimes more interesting than restored. 15 years ago that would've been a 100 point resto car by now.
You can't replicate history, I'm glad it's not just some of the VW crowd that can see this.
