Featured Car - Howard Bolam's 1987 Grand National


I think the license plate probably isn't telling the truth...
Howard owns a beautiful example of a factory stock appearing GN! He bought the car from the Turbo TRader in March of 2001 with only 32K original miles to go with his first GN (that he bought in September 1989 with 4400 miles). Howard says he had to have another GN, since they turn heads everywhere he goes, they are as fast (or faster) than many of the 60s/70s muscle cars he's owned he he's addicted to the distinctive "boost" sound. Howard uses this car to drive to work every day!
