Picked it up to-day, purred like a kitten @ 70 all the way from Newcastle to Knaresborough, a few things to check out before its next MOT and it does need a new Exhaust but it goes really well, its so quiet, plenty of heat and smooth as yer like!!!
Off to Dubfreeze in it for sure, at least I can get plenty of bits in it!!!!

Sold the 23 window and the mint 72 Bay...........believe it or not this lot was not that expensive, the majority of the retro fit stuff was from flea bay, for example the porker wheels and adapters were £240....so lots of bagains if you hunt around, the most expensive items were the replacement running gear, genuine VAG parts for the T25 are very, very expensive.
