That would have been me

...and it's a 1600M so it's even rarer than you thought

Just picked her up from a 3 month chassis rebuild at Adrian Venn's - good for another 29 years now

Kris..
& very yellow '75 1600M

ps. passed a red 390SE at the A34/M4 junction on the way down and gave a wave - anyone here?

We had one at the Ace Cafe recently, A couple of dogs and a chicken crawled out of the shut lines when it stopped...

Nice car but terrible build quality !

Jason - wasn't a 2 tone one was it? sort of sunflower yellow top half and brown (IIRC) towards the bottom of the car. Spotted one going through Salisbury the other day when out in the blandmobile.

Hey nice to see her on the road .. I thought it was a Taimar , but yes, it could have been an M (didnt quite see if the rear hatch was an opener or not ..)

you were on the M3 heading north about 300 meters from Junction 6 (Basingstoke)

Is that any relation to the new Jensen or does it just have a similar name?

Yep, that was me. Came on at Basingstoke at about 5.20 so unless there's another yellow M around here that I haven't run into yet......
