Are you telling us that you started off life as a cop ? ;D ;D
Nice car and you can fix it with a handful of tools.

I know a car restorer that had famous car that was renting it to a film company in Hollywood at £1.500 a day for 7 weeks. It sat at Heathrow for 5 days on rental waiting to be flown to the states.

Russ Collins was there showing (and chatting to all and sundry) his twin CB750 Engined Drag Bike. It was a huge beast and I wondered how he managed to ride....but ride it he certainly did. Top Dragster for many, many years.

All I have is that it is a twelve cylinder Honda dragster of American ace Russ Collins ( before 1978).
