F1 rebuild

[LongLiveTazio]

I always knew it was a bitsa, made up of X5 and Soarer parts!

Bit of a late comer here but car looks amazing Andy. When you buy a car second hand as you did and weren't able to visit the factory whilst it was still in production (I have assumed this, I may be wrong), it's great to be able to see it in this state and have it re-built. I guess it feels very personal and really underlines 'it's yours'. Hope the bill isn't too eye watering!

Completely right although the f1 is being done to as new and period. The zonda was exciting as I got to personalise the car to what wanted.

Bill is fine when you look at what car is worth.

That's got to be one of the safest bets in the car world.

That really is a thing of beauty Andy.

The hubs, wheel nuts, pipework, carbon panels, every detail superb.

Enjoy it in good health, i'm sure it will be worth the wait.

Fantastic job Andy. Never quite got to drive Mr.B's car. Was promised though Certainly a box I'd like to tick along with a promised drive of a Porsche 962

Hi Andy, am thinking of a Zonda myself and wondered how you'd compare it to the F1, given the big price differentials which one would be the keeper should you ever have to make that decision?

Was lucky enough to get some goodwood tickets for thursday and sunday will be making my way straight to see Lark

[bertie]

Epic job!

I'm at Goodwood in the morning, is the car there and are you Andy?

Has the informas video of Chris Harris being taken for a ride in this F1 been pulled, as I can’t find it anymore

Nice video, who is the driver?

[Bungleaio]

I've never seen that video before. The car is bonkers!

OP are you putting an extra set of belts in there so that you can take a passenger?

[fatboy69]

Not doing the FoS this year so looking forward to seeing photo's of the Lark car once the weekend is over.

One thing that I was wondering Andy - what happens to any parts on the car that are deemed necessary to replace? Do you keep them so that they remain with the car, albeit safely stored away?

Can I ask if many parts have been changed or is the car being put back together as it was before it was stripped down?

I think he is or was one of the dealer's at Dick Lovett. The thing is this video caused a huge fuss at the time because of the obvious high speeds he was doing and the fact that Harris had no seat or seat belts whilst in the car. It not often you see Harris looking scared but he was not happy as you could see and asked the driver to slow down on a number of occasions.

The video was pulled from YouTube and the Drive channel because of the potential repercussions
