Well it has begun!
Today I started sorting bits and pieces for my next project. After selling my Barbados Green LH SL/R 5000 a few years ago I really missed it. So have always been on the look out for another one. Good things come to those who wait....and one came along.
So I have found and brought another LH SL/R 5000, but this one is originally Contessa Gold. So from green to gold! It is nearly 100% complete with just a few bits and pieces missing. And nothing that can't be brought or found fairly easily.
What has been a funny turn of events though, is my Green SL/R 5000 was a Trimatic version. And I always said that If I found another one the odds are that it will be a manual version, which is what I wanted. However this one is ALSO a Trimatic version. With so few made, what are the odds of finding another one?? Still, beggars can't be choosers, so I wasn't going to pass the car up just because it wasn't a manual. With so few SL/R 5000's around these days you can't afford to be to picky!
So I have completely stripped the shell and started disassembling the engine to give it a once over. The body is 99.9% rust free and in great shape so that is the most important thing.
