Do you know they are made in Belper Warren?

If it was Thursday, then they where not going to Goodwood but Portsmouth for the ferry and on to Le-mans classic. The Mantis was parked 3 cars infront of me in the queue for the boat, next to a Ford GT40 and behind me was a Jag XK150.
In fact the queue for the 2 ferries on Thursday was one of the best car meets I have ever been to.

Not in the Midlands, but saw one of those alfa's (8c?) they had on Sunday's top gear at LMC on Friday. Just another punter, not a show car or anything.

"WTF...... is that an Alfa?????"
