I dragged her out of the space between the conatiners and into the newly prepared workshop. Watch this space. I now start stripping it down.

A few more pictures of the tear down process. Going to be a long but enjoyable next couple of years.

This is why I bought it, look at the condition of these seats after 32 years !!!

Please give advice on what colour to paint. the blue interior came in two exterior colours, blue and silver.

Being an original Sigma Turbo, I would leave the original colour silver. Not too bad when polished up!
If it was a mock sigma turbo, then blue would be the go!

That blue one on Gumtree is still for sale. Quite surprised...

I like the silver/black two tone :-).

Thanks for the responses. I really prefer the look of the blue but fading if silver wont be an issue as it will never really be outside and being original maybe I should keep the original colour. In saying all that to me there is no sigma turbo like the red ones with the dove interior.

Paint nowadays is way better than way back when so I doubt there will be fading issues. Love the engine hoisting beam :)

P.S. Moved the pics to your Vulpes album

If it is a Factory Dove Silver over Black, then leave it that way Darryl. A genuine Matching numbers GH Turbo, in the correct colours as from factory is worth alot more than a modded one.

Yes, if your going original, do it all the way. Otherwise, lightning blue!

One of the most memorable rides I've had was in a GH sigma but it had a fairly wild 340 in it. If I come across a clean original GH I would like to build a stout 340 and lift the front wheels on launch!
P.S. dad had the original MMAL sigma turbo for a weekend once when they were developing the final production model. It was blue/black and fast

I forgot that you are the King of original, yes "'Better than factory' Man". No more needs to be said, keep the colour!!

Thanks for the input, silver it is. Looks like somebody didn't like me putting a picture of the blue sigma/black one up? If you don't want people to use your picture here's a tip....don't put it on the f#$king internet.

(That would be me missing the link in your post when I edited it
