Great, she looks amazing!
But most of all it looks like there are some decent people and good, skilled crafts men (or woman) out there!

Any updates on your car ? Sorry for late reply, been a bit of a mission since my last post. Car has been off the road for about a year due to a failed ECU, and after a fruitless search for a replacement one, I sent the original one away to a specialist ecu repairer only to be told months later that it was beyond repair 😡. Then low and behold one came up on eBay, so snapped it up, and that one also was a dead one, so the process of sending it away for repair started but ended up the same result as the last one..damn. In the end I had to get a stand alone one made by Dave Walker of Emerald ECU which was fitted by my local auto electrician. With a bit of back and forth between Dave and spark they managed to get it running enough to pass the mot, and a further session on a rolling road sorted it even further. Managed to get a set of wheels for it.  So this was how it looked for a few months until it's next unscheduled stint off the road.   Next instalment is not so pretty ☹️☹️ Oh lordy lord, this car has some style doesn't it!! I was horrified to see it damaged, it's a relief to see all is well now. |

Thanks for all the kind comments. I am more than relieved that it was fixed to an excellent standard. I have never seen another one on the road or at any shows, and I think this is only 1 of 3 on the road, but I may be wrong.
