He has spent many hours on refurbishing and restoring his car and shares his project with readers in the feature.

Conor said: “I have spent considerable time, hands-on, detailing, maintaining, and working on the car to keep British executive motoring heritage alive on our local roads.

“The magazine piece looks at the journey of preserving modern classics and the dedication that goes into caring for these cars.

“I have sourced original parts for the car, including the original driver’s side inner door handle and a new passenger side indicator, from eBay.

“And I am in the process of having the interior refreshed and revitalised with a new headliner, alongside a deep clean and a driver's seat bolster.”
