Retro Kings at Snetterton Photos!

Yeah as a "show model" it seems to work really well - so much better than static car shows which seriously leave me cold these days - not sure who came up with the "idea/concept" but I always think back to Mallory park in 2007 (I think the show was called RRG2007 or gathering 07 - so it might be familiar to some) when I go to a show like this with an element of both track action and participation in either track sessions or sprints.......

Yeah well it's got more use in the last 12 mths than it did in the previous 5 years........

The other LC for those not at the show

Was displayed as a "barn Find" as extracted - TBH Not exactly Barn actually Sea container and that proved to be an expensive mistake for the previous owner.

10 years sealed up sweating away - he never looked at it once - If ever a more unsuitable storage place for a car other than the bottom of a lake is established I'd like to hear about it

Outside is a little dull and a bit of micro blistering here and there



From a distance - look at the driver's seat bolster.... look closely



Close up - Inside - I can tell you you can smell it from quite a distance - seriously



Engine bay



When you get into the detail - Crusty alloy



Bloody camera - its build number is 0166g I swear



55 K miles "UK car" - that's gonna be a heck of a resto!!!!

It's a local company that purchased it from the PO - their intention is to bare shell it (stick on a spit) and rebuild from shell up

I spent a bit of time giving some guidance and pitfalls and whilst I wasn't prepared to crawl around on wet tarmac to look under the car - they did say they had it on a ramp and underside was crusty but sound - I think they may find it to be worse once they start poking about.
