I know the Spitfire is heading west, I've driven along that road many times over the years, as well as over - it on the railway! I worked through there a couple of times last week under the newly installed signalling. Oxford is changing and becoming ever more busy, particularly around the station area, the land just to the south where the old gasworks once stood is being cleared for new buildings to go up and it's likely a new access road will be laid in.

Yes you are biggrinwink

I give you:
Bonnet highlight, top - corner of bonnet bulge
Side of bonnet highlight = vent louvres unique to Mark 2 GT6
Rostyle wheel trims
Shape of O/S c-pillar visible through windscreen
Shape of n/s a-pillar tapers toward top, suggesting quarter-light wink
The hard-top on Mark 3 Spits is that little GRP bubble thing isn’t it?

Really? the mind boggles wobble

There are about 30 years or more between the pics, and roger is 21 years older than Hammond.

It was my way of saying how they look alike
