I have an early mark 2 in need of restoration. Needing moral support to bring this back to life, as a now  "uncommon"  model (for everyday I have a 2018 Audi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnBWGjgIAaT/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

I'm a big GL fan especially the early ones! How bad is it / what needs doing? Got to be worth saving being so early.

I didn't know that GLs came in Mars red - do you know much about it's history?

I have scans of brochures that might help with inspiration:

84 UK sales brochure (https://photos.app.goo.gl/LzvHDajr8Mmu1siq6)

85 UK sales brochure (https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZvPFfW7oBAazMhuU9)

Tell us more about your plans and how much cheerleading you need  ;)
