Heres some pics of my Vento that I've just sold.

She was in a bad way due to sitting on a farm for over a year and the elements eating into the shell.

This was when I bought her

Due to being made redundant I had to sell the OZ Superleggera's then recieved some money so bought some new shoes for her

The N/S/F wing suffered a few weeks previously as the frony bolt holding the wishbone to the engine bed decided to vacate at 70mph throwing the wheel back into the wing Shocked

Sadly rust took its toll and she got sold as spares today Crying or Very sad

This is my daily driver for the minute

Loved the Vento and when I get sorted financially going to look for another, missing that silky but angry VR6 sound Razz

All the floor plan and sills. It didnt help that before I bought the car, it was sat on a farm in a field for over twelve months and, with the sills being jacked up on incorrectly and splitting the sill seams, the moisture and elements got inside and rusted the sill and floor from the inside out.

Was well gutted as I loved the car.

This was the last pic I had of it
