Got myself an 850 GLT - Page 27

The horror of conflict...no winners...only loss.

Fascinating history with this car, all the same, and credit to you for your investigative skills!

Thanks Baffler, I have to agree, no winners...only loss.

Yes I've been lucky enough to have been able to speak with the original owners and they have been more than helpful in assisting with my quest to find the history of the car. I must admit if they hadn't been so meticulous with their paper trail the 850 would just be another old car.

An absolutely stunning job in all respects sir. That is easily the nicest 850, of any flavour, I have ever seen.

Thanks Ross, it would be a tough call to find a better 850

After clearing up the back yard I pushed the 850 out of the garage to give it a bit of an airing. I never started the engine, I;ll leave that until March when I take it for an MOT

First turn of the engine in 146 days and it fired straight up... https://youtu.be/mhLaR1C4lxs

It was -3°C when I left the house to take the 850 on it's 13 mile journey to the MOT station, after a thorough inspection by the tester, it was a straight pass and we're ready for another summer of out and about in style

Once the snow cleared yesterday and the sun came out, albiet briefly I had my two Belgian Swedish girls out in the open together for the first time

In true DVLA online fashion it took no less than 10 attempts to remove my 850 from SORN and pay my VED this morning, why is their website such a shambles

Ready to hit the road for another 6 months

Probably a volume issue, 4x4, everyone getting their pride and joy on the road for the summer months? At least you guys are allowed to put personal registrations on your vehicles...we don't even have a direct debit system in place
