Rare sighting in Letchworth. This one could do with a spit and polish, but always had a soft spot for these, especially the JPS version.

I was working for GKN in the late sixties, and they built a special Lotus 47 with a Rover 4.5 litre V8 at GKN Transmissions in the Midlands. GKN47D was the registration and it was a regular visitor to my workplace on the Thames at Chiswick in Corney Road. I loved that car and tried to follow where it went. The last I heard from GKN HQ was that it had been taken across the Atlantic and it has since disappeared from trace.

A Pajero Evo not too far from Letchworth on Friday evening. Looked and sounded fantastic.

Jet Provost T5.5 just flew over my house. Not something I’ve seen for a long while I’m sure.

Wasn’t it just. Glad someone else appreciated it. I’m sick of seeing posts on local groups (particularly the villages) complaining of people doing Aeros over their houses!! Have you seen the price of show tickets, not to mention the queues and crowds. And you have a world champion practising pyros for free for half an hour with a view from your very own garden. Get a grip.

Totally agree, often see him out practicing and it's great to watch.
See loads of spits and mustangs going across as well but the provost was a nice surprise

Good friend of mine completely rebuilt that Charger just over 10 years ago. Had a full restoration including a complete coilover conversion, absolutely brilliant to drive. Was imported some time in the early 80s, originally a yellow 383. Tom carried out the restoration and finished it in Audi Misano Red with a 440, I had heard the next owner had painted it black. Here it is parked next to his brothers 1963 F100 which Tom also built;



His replacement for the Charger was a '31 Model A, still a work in progress
