Amazing! Really hope we get to see her in the flesh sometime soon! Good luck with testing, you must be over the moon!

She looks beautiful, Bob.

You might technically not be allowed that black and white number plate, but hey, why not.

Not many sleeps left now?

David, Jonby thank you. See here the instrument (dash) panel, still work to do, the Spitfire fuel gauge which is missing in this pic is now reinstalled although refusing to read below a 1/3rd full.

Rob, jon, Mark, Glyn, Nick T and Graham (still lurking), thank you. Its great to share the build ideas and know others appreciate and have enjoyed the experience. It is my hope that I'll be able to organise a Snetterton Track day for ASM DBR Le Mans owners to come together to enjoy for the first time a massive group hug. When that will be I'll need to speak to the Track owners to see what dates are available.

Sincere apologies for my prolonged absence, here are some recent pics of MO55IE. Road testing next week I'm told.


Good lord, that is beautiful. A hell of an update from the last entry, too.

David, thank you. Its great to see the appreciation for what I set out to achieve (3 years back). Andrew Soar, Mark and Terry at ASM take the podium step, they've dug deep, I'm sure have at times had to bite their lip as my next 'idea' arrived in the inbox.rolleyes Still some more work to do but almost there.

That is absolutely stunning. Hope you get as much pleasure from owning it as we have from following the build.
