I Have worked in Redbridge for 26 yrs now and about 17 yrs ago I used to stop and admire a silver GSI down a road (Trelawney ave) in Hainault, Essex. I told myself (I’ll have one of those one day). Fourteen yrs later I joined the Autobahnstormers, I had my 2.0 ltr Diplomat at the time when I had a chat with James Wadding ton (a club member for along time) it was him who told me I would get a GSI. Who was I to argue. So the hunt began. I looked at a few including a 2.6 ltr Diplomat but none had really got me excited, then I saw a GSI on the net, it was local, (Clayhall in Essex) so my boy and I went and had a look, as soon as I saw it I wanted it, got the price down to £1300 and I was the proud owner. When the log book came through I was gob smacked by one of the previous owners, He lived at No 68 Trelawney ave, it was the very car that I used to drool over all them years ago, talk about destiny. I was then committed to do whatever it takes to keep this GSI on the road and in top order. |

Welcome to my site dedicated to the ongoing restoration of my GSI, (plus a few other pages). I purchased it in June 2005 after it had been garaged for over a year. Initial thoughts where good and was well pleased with the price £1300.00. It had 1 yrs MOT and no tax. |
