Your cars: Sam Frank's Fastback Rapier.

Sam`s electric blue Fastback has just had a full body restoration and looks rather nice as I think you will agree.

AAA 423J was first registered to a London based company, (Horncastle, Crawford and West Ltd) on 15th March, 1971. After five years it was sold to an elderly gentleman in south London, where it stayed until 1992, only covering a few hundred miles a year. After this it passed through several owners in Norfolk, before I bought it in October of last year. Since that time the car has been completely resprayed in its original colour, electric blue metallic. The car also sports wire wheels, (there origin is currently unknown) and has a rather unusual blue interior. In the near future I am intending to have some rechroming done, and have the engine converted to unleaded in readiness of the millenium. I am also in the process of contacting as many previous owners of the car as I can, in order to compile as comprehensive a history as possible.
