My Red Special - Cosette
My 1988 Red Special purchased February 12th 2013 - Bring on the Summer, looking forward to driving around with the roof down. Fingers crossed for a nice hot summer She's done 45k miles, changed engine and galvanised chassis.

Not that it would be anything to worry about if it was 145,000. It looks quite tidy, although the rotation of that door handle might set off a few twitches!

Re: My Red Special - Cosette
Hi Cosette. Nice car, reminds me of the first one I had waaaay back in 1989. Mine didn't stay all red for long ... Welcome to the forum!

Re: My Red Special - Cosette
Your cars always have a certain 'something' about them RT... I've no idea what, but I think I like it.

The engine is in the wrong place on this one Hope I have more luck with this Citroen - My C2 engine caught fire and that was the end of that chapter Getting used to it at the moment. Managed to lock myself in the back the other day

Re: My Red Special - Cosette
On a slight tangent, I would love to see some photos of your H'Imp, the legendary cars that they are!
