Chassis no. DO.20072
We collected our Midas Silver from Greenfield in April 1981.
After a leisurely build based on a 1275GT, it was registered in August 1981 and was for a long time our only car, with a child's seat bolted to the back of the rear seat for our son in 1982.
It had a respray within 2 years because of fading red gelcoat. We chose Chrysler Wardance as it closely matched the original colour. I sprayed it a second time(same colour) about 8 years ago in an attempt to deal with micro-blistering and other blemishes.
It was in daily use up until 2 years ago when we put it on SORN. Commitments meant we used other cars in our fleet.
Now it is kept in the garage and still looks great when I occassionally wheel it out onto the drive to work in the garage.
