Thanks guys and girls - clearly I've found a very friendly place!! It is the C1 Cougar, it was registered in 2001, but was built at the end of 1999, so probably sat in a field for 12 months. Doesn't seem to have done it any harm though... Bought ultimately as a weekend / fun car, but it didn't stop me doing the 94 mile round trip to work in it today...!
Looking forward to getting to know the car, you guys and the site in general!
