Wow , good job ! Had the governor given up or just over revving for a quick cut ?! I had a Fiat Coupe Turbo that looked like that but 4x worse !  I think the engine had done more hours running than intended I have a long strip of waste ground running alongside my house & the bone idle highways knobs only cut it twice a year so it's down to us locals to keep the place trim so I think the motor had just wore out  This is the bit I keep cut  this is what it would be like if I didn't bother as its the other side of road & I won't cut that  |

Hopefully you will keep the same colour scheme that she was originally supplied in...but three options were offered on the 2001 model year.
SR453 Shark Silver
RC542 Pants Red
BG245 Choking face blue

SR453 Shark Silver RC542 Pants Red BG245 Choking face blue RC542 Pants Red as original I think as I think the value will drop if I change to the inferior colours not sure what to do about wheels though as they have cuts & marks, I did see some nos ones on eBay but seller only had 3 & they were a bit overpriced (£75.45) if it was for 4, I would of been tempted I've put all the metal bits in the dishwasher & gone through 2 cycles & it's all come up very good although wifey wasn't to pleased but when she sees the final result planned for September I'm sure she will forgive the mess I left. |

I know a guy done that with a piece of ground at the side of his house and he was allowed to eventually add it to his property. For the roads service, local councils and housing associations little bits of ground like that are just a headache and they would probably be glad to get shot of it. |

Harold I did apply about 10 years ago to see if I could purchase the waste land & they decided as it was a visibility splay when pulling out of the road it would affect people's vision so decided not to let me buy it, I really should apply again & see if there is a way around the visibility issue maybe have half of it or something |

Just stick a fence round it level with the end of your wall and see what happens You will not be obstructing sight lines as they can't see through the wall anyway. Sometimes honesty is not the best policy |
