Newest recruit in the garage. It's done 235k but in remarkably good condition and still really tight. I love it, proper modern classic to be put into daily use

Maxige, hats off, thats about my favourite AH build!
I have a dutch blue step front, and its slowly gaining AH bits and pieces, but at heart its a GTJ with a 1750 motor. Someday I'll have the body sorted and do an engine upgrade.

I recall your car was originally destined for Dubai. Is that true? Were you the owner a the time, and how did you fair with running it out there? I couldn't help but keep my eye out on a recent business trip, incase it was about!

The Porsche too, just great.

That brings back some happy memories I had a three door 8V Turbo back in 1986, lovely car!

Lol, not quite yet, but certainly needs some TLC. Used to race 2010-2012 but been road car for last few years... Bit of project by all accounts but drives and goes well for 1960s motor...

Looks fun, mate of mine had one back in the early 70s. They are a big old bus, used to get 6 of us in there to go to the pub. What engine's it got?

Engine is standard block with ported and polished head, piper camshaft, twin carbs... Lots of mods to suspension, exhaust, to make it race worthy. Going to be a labour of love and tears I reckon..

She's lovely, is it a 2L Low Chassis? What year? I had an hour on the M25 during some rather inclement weather yesterday (hood inoperable) but I am pleased to say I didn't get wet keeping a steady 65.

oooh - I was foxed by the Rad. But what do I know, all a learning curve for me right now.

Meadows?

Indeed, we chatted about Mehere's car a page or two back. It fooled me too but it's got an earlier rad. wink
p.s. 65mph Alec? That's clipping along nicely. I've only had mine up to 55/60 and that's approx 3,000 revs. I'm a bit nervous exceeding that.

p.s. had mine at a Goodwood Breakfast Club a while back. Nice drive out...

Looks nice. Was it an organised tour or just a group of friends?

That's absolutely lovely, I so fancy something properly vintage.
