I see no jammy dodgers or plush carpets...

A beautiful, beautiful piece of art by Mr. Isaacs, Mr. Dewey and all the other folks involved

[Jon C]

Windscreen wipers. Indicator stalks. Tailpipes.

That'll be Street Eliminator then!

[fester426]

That will be beaulie museum then

[Furyous]

That looks lovely, got any more info or any bigger pics ?

Whose is it ?

[Taximan]

Just helping out with the pics, what an awesome car!

[fester426]

John Dewey,from crow lane romford,car is stunning

[fester426]

Guy that done the body work and paint,darren is in the same yard,hes got the turbo mark 1 escort in yellow that runs 10s,prep on both cars is the best i have ever seen,,,,,,,,,,,bill

[Furyous]

Looks superb.

Quick numpty question, I didnt think a Lenco would/could operate on the road ?

Assuming this is a S/E car ?

[anonymous-user]

AFAIK, it's not headed for SE, but if I see young Mr. Dewey tomorrow, I'll ask. Given the motor spec also, I imagine it's more of a weekend play thing (that you can sit and look at and think 'phwoooooar...').

[novanut64]

st1200 lencos are made for road use

Sorry

[dont know]

Nice Car just tell him the battery does not look fixed the positive terminal requires insulating and I can`t see the earth wire to the fuel tank filler ring. Just before some scrutineer nit picks

[fester426]

Yep,was speaking to john about the battery hold down only this morning,2x10 mill studs etc,to be honest john is going around the car doing the miriad of small jobs that always seem to need doing

[revolvor]

WOW

[Benni]

Congratulations, very good looking 57...

Reminds me of Peter Wacker´s "Roofers Toy" Mk1,
that was an original car, steel body & bumpers,
he sold it and it sort of never appeared again.

Benni

Benni I think you mean the first version of Peter's 57 when it was black,
later he painted it green with the white top and added lots of plastic body parts,
I have lots of pics of "Roofers Toy" over the years where you can spot all the things changed, but it was the same car all the time.
I know very well because I am the happy owner right now and the car is not half as nice as the 57 above.

version 1 steel nose

version 2 steel doors

version 2 plastic doors

these days

Hi "Taximan" !

Oh Oh, so I was there at the dutch finals and did not realize
that your 57 was the one.......
Due to other events, I can only make the trip to DragTen for the finals in 09,
so I will see you there, or maybe earlier at Hockenheim ?
Regards from moffenkopp country,
Benni
