Hello chaps!
Just bought a '62 Series 1 3.8 FHC in red with black interior.
Beautiful machine with loads of history.
Should be collecting tomorrow.
Done a lot of reading and research over the past few months, learning about the different models, the changes etc.
After quite a bit of searching and scouring the market for the right vehicle I managed to find exactly what I wanted.
Will post up photos later on this week.
I'm sure I'll have a few questions along the way.
All the best,
Jonny

Guess what?
Mine is also a 62 FHC. Left the factory in Carmen red with a black interior. It's now Opalescent Dark Blue with a red interior.
Welcome.
Regards

Hi Johhny,
Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you had a very enjoyable drive home yesterday - hope you arrived safely!
Whereabouts in London are you?
Cheers.

Hi Simon,
Thank you. Yes arrived safely, was an interesting first drive for sure. Great power delivery and handling for a 55 year old vehicle!
I'm based in central London.
Looking forward to my next drive on Friday.
