Hello good evening and welcome to cavmk3oc.com :wave

A 1.4! I'm struggling to think of anyone else on the forum with one of those, it's definitely one of the rarer examples out there, yours must be an early one too eh. Is it white, I recall the white 1.4s coming with a blue dash. Nice!

Get a thread up in the Work In Progress or Showroom section, whichever applies. Looking forward to seeing your snaps, and if you have any questions then just holler!

Whereabouts are you located btw? Get your location in your profile - useful for local meet invites and on-hand help! :)

Frost blue is a later colour, but I can't remember what this was called!
