Hmm, wish i didn't see that. Don't know how they got the link to this thread either.
So old mate who got it from me is trying to flog it off for THREE TIMES the amount he bought it for!!
First off it is NOT fully restored, just repainted externally by the previous owner before me. There...
Sad to say I sold the BJ a few months ago due to family commitments. Very sad to see it go and yes i regret it now, but really could not justify keeping it. I found out after the sale that the guy that bought it has shipped it to Ireland in a container along with two other shortys. I was a bit...
