Morning all

According to the blurb, few of these cars were assembled in Dublin in RHD form. It doesn't look bad but there are jobs still outstanding, and the painted bumpers could do with re-chroming ideally. Has anyone here owned one of these?

Plus the seats would need recovering a bit more professionally.

I have seen a few cars for sale recently with very 'homemade' type interiors. Perhaps people are put off by the cost of getting them done professionally?

Could well be. Nothing wrong with anything home-made if you use the car yourself, but it will always be a negative discussion point when selling the car.
This car seem to have very simple seats so professionally made covers would not be too expensive I would think.
