I visited Frank McKays home town yesterday to view his lovely Aprilia, its up for sale in the adverts section of the current VL. I offered to put up a few more photos and correct facts in the advert and add some further details to help out in its sale.
Frank has had this car for 25 odd years, done quite a bit of work to it and kept it in fine fettle over this period. Its been used in a total of 9 family and friends weddings during his ownership. The Aprilia actually came to N Ireland in 1958 not 1985 as per VL advert and is accompanied by a page and a half letter from the seller in London, noting what work had been done to it and spent on it over the period he'd owned it. The car also has its original owners manual, however the original buff log book had to be handed in when re-registered in N Ireland in 1993. One of the owners in N Ireland actually had all four wings re-manufactured in aluminium ( allegedly in the works shops of Shorts bros, now Bombardier of Belfast, some time in the late 50s or 60s.) The car starts on the button but could do with a freshening up paint wise. Frank had the leather interior and headlining redone, and has come up with an ingenious method to heat the interior of the car.
Franks phone number and email address are in the VL advert. Apart from meeting Frank on this one and only occasion I've no other connection or interest in the sale of the car.
