Assuming you're a Havelock Northean? :)

Napierararian!  ;D
Aah cool... I grew up in HN and still return a few times a year to drive the SS Te Mata Peak and SS Tukituki Rd. :)

Remember getting to the bottom of the peak one time in my TR7 and my front brakes were literally on fire.... as in I stopped, they were on fire and melted through the rubber in the brake lines.... had to drive home on the handbrake :)

Cheers...is a tidy little unit, 20 years of grammar teacher ownership...though she could have learnt to park a bit better...(bloody scuffed rims)!

Speaking of Te Mata peak... this is one of my fave shots of My car and dad's up the peak, Christmas day, I think back in 2005. God I miss my Elise... ironically dad's got one just like it now :)

Here is mine
Nearly one lady owner.
First owners (less than a year) raced it in Benson and Hedges - Graham and Tony Lawrence. Then my mother owned it from 1987 to 2000 when I took it over.
My mother used to eat clutches - at least two so when got it I put a kelvar one in as it was due again!! No probs since  :)
The wheels are OK. ;D
And yes it has a sunroof  (ah, shaddup!), some evidence of a small fire under the bonnet (eek!) a dodgy rubber seal on the glass on the hatch (poor repair job after a small ding), faded paint (mostly original) and otherwise pretty good with very tidy interior. Looks good after a good clean and a polish.
Put a whole new meaning to "drive it like it's your mothers!!"

Good stuff!  That is a tidy rocket!
