Great news its alive 🤠 i kind of like the green color on the Jaguar and the MG cars but on the Ghia not that much

[@vwcoco]

Agree British racing Green got to stay on British cars and not German 😂

runs great for no oil

[@vwcoco]

Yeah after all those years aswell 👍

You should try a propane torch Just enough heat to make the paint lose . Try it on a test piece.

[@vwcoco]

I’ll try that Joe cheers
