Keep considering it but a lot is on my cars insta @jonsgarage_18

Although I note that car is currently up for auction on f1 authentics

Night feel differently after tomorrow’s first run(:

I may have seen Modena race this chassis at Silverstone in 1988, it's so good to see it brought back to a proper condition. Any pics of the shakedown?

One of the many things I love about 80s and 90s f1 cars is the size of the diffusers, rather than the rather apologetic versions we have today. Look at the proper diffuser on the back of the (beautiful) MP4/5B as an example:

I really enjoyed reading this, what a brilliant project! The original Engine cover looks so much better. I would really like to see more.
Have you considered starting a retrospective thread detailing the restoration & subsequent operation? The kind of thing Popopbangbang might have put together?

Thanks for sharing this, I'll give your Instagram account a look. I really don't think thatI could sell something like this, especially after having shaken it down!


Edit. I've just seen your Insta Account, you were shaking down 25 minutes from where I live, what are the chances!? It looks and sounds glorious by the way
