The yellow car 5 pictures above (with the open glass sunroof) is JTF222K which was in the monochrome photo posted yesterday. I think it was a Tuscan V6, but now has Ford V8.

LJJ-IIK is effectively an S3 (on a Vixen chassis) and was the first 1300 made - described in the recent(ish) Peter Filby book.

I hope the black and white picture is more recent. The Revolution five spoke wheels suit the car even more, than the original finned ones do.

Besr regards,

sadly on the moment I can't upload new pictures...it seems that thumbsnap.com does not work? also not when you click on the pictures elsewhere, at least on the moment with my PC.

They do indeed and are on my shopping list for mine in a month or so.

That car would appear to have a Rover V8 according to the DVLA. smile

I find it hard enough to accept that you plagerise peolpe's photographs without giving credit but at least you could try and get some of the model descriptions right!!
biggrin mostly the descriptions came with the picture, others I try to guess, If I post pictures that others made I give them credit by posting/sharing them, those name's are on the pictures as well.
Sorry that some are not correct, lucky you can ad a better description, no problem, I don't pretend to know it all, or all types from the pictures, its just nice to share and see a lot of those in one thread.

I presume the 'smilie' was accidentally missed off from this comment, as surely nobody on this forum could say this seriously. Keep it up GTRene, I appreciate seeing these fab photo's in one place and understand that you're not looking to take credit for them.

biggrin lol

oke, next few, hope most will be right ;-) sometimes hard to see if they came without notes (a lot came that way), most difficult (for me) are the Vixen S2 and Tuscan when using the same looks mostly, like a lot of those pictures below.
So don't get to 'upset' with me, at least I try nerd

No you don't.
I now understand what specific picture you meant, its made by someone you know I believe?
how could I know if there is no name written on it, see here is that picture from, please don't be 'angry' at me for acting like this, you could nicely ask me were did I got it from by e-mail or so, anyways'here is the link, its from 2009 hope your happy know? I hope so, do not want or meant to harm any.
