This fine beast showed up at a trackday I was attending this weekend and I got to talk to the owner. He's owned it since new (bought in '89 as NOS *IN CRATE*) and has since slowly put 11000 miles on. Up close you wouldn't think this thing had left the showroom floor. Only the odd sticker here and there gives it away. Seriously, the engine paint looks clean enough to eat off of.

That is a 'glove box', it held the tool kit I believe since getting under the seat to get to tools required tools! Very nice, I'll bet it sounds great -
