Both sets look cool..Have they been split and then widened?..Or were they specially made in the begining.

They do look nice colour coded in yellow...Some colours are not so effective but they look really smart..Mind you the ones on it now or the cleaned up version will still look smart..

Here is a couple of pics before they rebuilt it to late 90's spec, when the car won quite a few races in including Spa in 99 and a second and third place in the champonship overall in the late 90's!










I think it looks good when these pics were taken, what's it going to look like when it gets delivered!
I can't wait!

Just to get down to sit in my wheel chair is great, and to see the yellow beast in my garage has helped me forget some of what has happened to me 8 mths ago!
With the Tuscan coming as well, things are coming rite at last!

You asked for it, I just hope it doesn't bore to many people!

First production 350i, The first series 3 280i, The last SX350i, a 450SE, a 450SEAC, A Cerbera 4.5, The yellow 420SEAC racer, and a Tuscan racer!

Here's a pic of each one!

























Plus of course with that lot I need a Recovery/Tow (Trailer) vehicle!





Well I hope that has not bored to many people!

That's the lot for a while, I have another car I want to make up the collection, but that will have to wait till mid next year!

Andy

Mega collection Andy, not bored with that at all. I think we will all be a bit jealous on 2 levels:-

1. You have a great collection of cars
2. You have a good lady that lets you get away with having so many tongue out

I hope recovery continues at a pace so you can get out and enjoy them.

Cheers, David

Thank's for your comments.
Yes I am really lucky to have Rose for a wife. She has been great all through our marrage and especally this last 8 mths!

She also loves TVR's as well which helps!

Once we get our new house and garage sorted then she will let me get another project to do, just to get me out from under here feet! Which is important as she is also disablded and two of us bumping about in the house all day will be a nightmare!
