hmmm just had a tought, rather than travelling about and paying into shows, I might just sit on the motorway bridge and watch em all go past If you'd been on the A3 you'd have seen this lot and more on the way to Goodwood Breakfast club Mind you it's a free event. Some retros in here good-times.webshots.com/album/563666364XKmhPe

tonight been a fine example, dry, lovely and humid v warm have window open and feels great. Dry roads but a cooler starry night is nicer; dense cold air for more power! + 100w bulbs

Gutmann made a hot 405Mi16 estate back in the day. I saw one around 1991 in France and thought it looked very nice. Gold - lowered, subtle body kit with gold BBS? rims. I'm sure I have a photo of it somewhere which I'll try to dig out - however this will have to do Otherwise the 405TD's are a very capable car.

Once you wind these up they are quite a fast little motor.

I'll try and restrict this to the more retro stuff, but for the rest goto This car belongs to a guy on PistonHeads - to be honest it looks like a few of the guys on PH are there.

*edit* I doubt it was only on in the Midlands, unless it started on BBC1 (which I find unlikely, and BBC2 was never regional). TG were based at the old BBC Pebble Mill building in Birmingham.

Spuff-tastic T'old Mr Moss lives round these parts, he was on the local news the other night driving this - Moss lives in Mayfair in London. www.stirlingmoss.com/fun_things.htm722 is an amazing piece of kit, seen it several times with Moss at the wheel - given that number as it was the depature time 7:22 for him and Jenks to start the Mille Miglia.....1000miles in 10 h 07' 48" - not bad for 1955!

Did you say you're a student? You have 5 cars, one of which is a Landy, and a classic boat? How does that work then, ie...funding?
I couldn't even afford to buy a car when I was a student let alone run one!
Saying that my mate had a Series 3 88 at 6th form and then borrowed it for the next 3 years at Uni!
Nice choice of cars though, lovely boat too.
;D

Looks a bit like the chassis on my dads parts one, although if you need any panels he may still have some. Just out of interest is there anyway you could take a photo of the engine bay as I want to check out the heater box with motor?
If you're going to scrap it let me know.
Thanks.
