My Very First GSA

I purchased this vehicle back in 1990 from the then, Citroen main agent in Stevenage Graveley Motor Co. Graveley Motor Co was a lovely family run main agent which I worked at in the early 90’s part time.

The car was only about 6 years old and had already started to rust with various repairs being carried out. The car has been dry stored since 1998 and had not really deteriorated any more since then. The floors were still rather good but it was more the back end which was seriously rusty.

The car is not finished yet but it won’t be long.
