Well kept example, love the shine 

[DrAndyB]

Reminds me of my second Elite, in Jungle Green.

Not got your Elite Grille and Bose have you

Very nice example

Sadly not Doc, but I do have the rear shelf with electric blind (Bose speaker grilles).  It is cream though, and it looks as though you have the dark interior on yours.

Yep black cloth interior (but very comfy  ) else I would have made an offer for the rear blind  (I have the OEM switch already fitted to dash  )

A Cream one with dark interior would look a little odd and trying to keep her as original-ish as I can.

Anybody with a black one then I maybe interested    Assume not difficult to fit ?

Stunning - surely 1 owner from new in that condition is rare, if not unique? 

Keep up the good work!

I have owned her from 6 months old so pretty much all the cars life 

She was formally a Vauxhall Management Car and only had a few k-mls on clock (6k I think ?) so was pretty much a new mota.

Bought her 6 months old, and paid 40% of list price with Vauxhall paying the 60% depreciation !!!  (Thank you GM  )

Everyone a winner.

MOT next week   Fingers crossed

If you fancy a drive there's an Elite velour interior (in pale grey, though), with all the electric seats and heated rears at a scrapyard near me 

Personally with that car being such a beautiful example of an original mode might be worth just keeping it in its factory spec... but only fair I let you / other OOFers know that they're there

Thanks for the tip off Re Elite bits.  I guess I should keep her true to the Original Model & Spec as I can really  which is not too shabby 

Cheers,

If you'd tweaked her over the years, a worthy mod... but I agree with you completely in this case - keep original. Lovely machine. Long may she reign!

MOT passed with NO advisories 

Happy days.

"She is a vey clean mota sir and wheel arches all wax oiled" was the comment.

Getting handbrake and gearstick gaitors done now as they are tatty and there is a custom trim place opposite who can do is soft black leather

You can buy the handbrake gaiter etc on the bay of gay....for a few pounds,just done mine. Think the sellers are called Topgaiters iirc

I got them re-done at custom trim place next to where I work in the end (they have some real fancy motas there so thought they should be decent!!) .  That way the plastic fittings/clips are original GM with then genuine top quality leather and look factory fit and blend perfectly to the pattern on the black console  . And the smell of leather in the car is a bonus !!

I shall try to take a PIC and post
