No not the OHMSS car but apart from the interior colour and not being a big block it will look exactly the same! This is purely intentional, have wanted one ever since I saw the film in 1976!
Should be home for reassembly very soon now, EVERYTHING has been rebuilt or replaced so should turn out nice! Cant wait!

Did you get along to Beaulieu and see that car in the end Richard?

Yeah
Its definately one of the Bond cars but it looks pretty tired, all the trim and grilles are all misaligned and the leather is all cracked and the undercarraige is a mess! Really wants a professional restoration!

IS this the Car that was owned by the Lovely woman who used to be the advertising Rep for Classic American? the Car was in Wigan Lancs for a while

If not there is another Red Rag Top XR7 out there

I imported this car in 2001, was completely original, matching numbers, tags on everything, thick layer of dirt on everything, unfortunately the floors were really shot and the lower quarters were gone! It was cheap though $2500. Just as well, cos its cost a fortune to get this far! Worth every penny though!
