Hi. WOW!. I am amazed to see this. My name is Peter, I bought this SR coupe when I was at Hornby High School as my first car just when I got my licence about 1997 I think. It was very original but in good condition for its age. The guy who I bought it off, his mother worked at the post office and she saw the number plate in the system while working there so she quickly grabbed it for her sons car, if I remember right it might have been her car which she passed down. About 1999-2000 I decided to "do it up" a bit, my best mate at the time Lee just got into the car painting industry so he and myself tidied it up and painted it calypso blue (Honda colour), I bought after market brand new front guards and bonnet, put deep dish hot wires and eagers on it ect, I got the original mods cert. At the time it was immaculate, particularly being teenagers with limited experienced. I sold it to Lee's brother Luke about 2001 because I went over seas, he continued to do it up. If you were around at this time and did the Colombo runs on Friday and Saturday nights you would remember this and other SR coupes particularly Shane's yellow "spitfire" SR which was awesome. Thanks for sharing this I am happy to see it still around and see someone fully restore it. I will keep watching. Will post some old photos when I find them. cheers Pete.
