A while ago I posted this Panther Rio
Today, passing the same spot, I saw this parked up..
Immaculate doesn't even being to describe it, it could've rolled off the showroom floor yesterday..
I have an extremely soft spot for these; my Grandfather had a Dolomite (but not a Sprint, sadly) in British Racing Green, and it smelt of petrol inside and I'm certain it was the machine that turned me into a petrolhead.

A hand built exclusive based on the Triumph Dolomite, the knowledgeable folk on this 'ere thread said. Today, passing the same spot, I saw this parked up..

The smell of petrol.....mmm...mmm... (Homer-style drool)
When I was a kid my best mate's dad had an old pre-war Wolseley 14hp (supposedly ex-police) that we used to sit in. The mixture of the smell of petrol and leather remains with me to this day - it was at its height on hot sunny days, presumably because of the evaporation.
Thinking back, maybe I was "hooked" on the fumes, but it's the best smell in the world.

Did I dream it or did Daimler use a male and female mould technique in the manufacture of the SP250?
As in, the most costly way to make GRP.
The reason I ask is I just spent ten minutes searching and nothing comes up.
I've never heard that suggestion before,but the most costly sounds about right. The SP250 was basically a hand made car and the variations in quality can be great.The car in the picture belongs to the SP250 registrar and has reputedly done well over 200,000 miles.As in, the most costly way to make GRP.

Pretty rare 1302S Beetle ...
1982 immaculate XR2 on its way to a new owner down south (being towed by a local classics dealer)
Just managed to snap this hot rod out and about in Westcliffe/Southend last Friday before the nose of the car on the right blocked the view ... 30's Ford?
Ford Sierra Cosworth ...
Unrestored 60s Vauxhall with interesting no. plate
VW Camper with again, a dodgy plate.
