Yellow Peril my TR6 Mimosa Yellow

[Mikebentley]

Owned all three of these at the same time and all quite different. Mk1 Vitesse 2.0L believed oldest in existence 13 yrs and counting. 1955 XK140 FHC 3 or 4 yrs and counting and 1961 GMC Apache with 5.7L and Positrac unfortunately I killed it when it slipped off the road on spilled diesel at 25mph. It hit a post at about 15 mph and insurance wrote it off. Was sold and advertised for £4K more than I paid for it 12 weeks earlier but where is it now?

Hopefully will get uncovered, polished up and driven again in the next few weeks...

That looks mintier than a mint thing on Mint Monday. Is it?

Paint looks spectacular.

Fantastic. I am considering doing a similar thing to a GT6 and subtlety updating it as I go along

Thanks Bertie and looking at your garage you are clearly a person of great taste.

I've owned many TVR's and on my third Griff 500 .. I always seem to end up going back to the Griff.

I’ve not been in here for a while, this thread continues to impress and depress in equal measure.

Indeed, slaver, thats how to do an old car, end rust forever.

I think I feel the same - some lovely kit, but does make most of mine look a bit down at heel!

Just got the old wedge out after a bit of fettling. Last used it for a jaunt up to Northumberland for a week, back in October. Decided to fit a new heater (practically everything but the paint needs removing) and overhaul the injection, so it somehow ended up in the garage most of the winter and I drove the old truck or rode the Harley through all the bad weather. So glad that I bothered tho', it used to pop in and out on various cylinders as and when it felt like it - now, it just goes. I'd forgotten just how much fun you can have with two hundred brake in a small rear wheel drive car.





And I know you could say that these belong in Biker Banter, but I'm not certain there are that many on there that are interested in oily old tat. The twins out for an airing recently...

It's amazing isn't it (see my post about my Griff) so this is one year older and to me looks better than the current Ferraris.

It is amazing how these older cars tend to look so much better that their young counterparts. But I suppose the youngsters love 'em and will aspire to today's new cars in years to come.
