Cool!!!! Pink Caddy  8) 8)

This is a 78 Eldorado Biarritz Custom Classic, which was only made in 78 to commemorate the last of the "full size" Cadillac`s. 2000 were made and only 500 with sunroof`s, which this is one. Look forward to getting it on the road.  :-\

LOL, thanks fella`s! yes, 10mpg and the country lanes could be a problem  ??? Only driven it off the boat and home, very scarey over the mountain in the dark and rain for my first / only journey!! Needs testing and re-registering yet, could be a while as it needs a few bits. If you are over here at any point and you come across a 20 car tail back, you`ll know it`s me up front!!  ;)

 Must get one of these ordered .......

Not bad Matt. Can you post a pic of a hardtop version in less garish colours, or should that be colors  ;)
