I didn't get a far as under the bonnet before the rain started again... here's a few more of inside and out. The seats are fine under those covers, except for a small rip in a seam of the driver's seat.









That's all I have, I'll do more next weekend weather permitting.

Rue Beaujon...Ave Charles de Gaulle and flying over Versailles in a 4 seater plane on a flying lesson with a relative of the Aga khan, parking bonnet facing the kerb in packed street an original Fiat 500, watching a Woody Allen premier to then find the street filled with machine gun toting CRS on election night!! having a GUN pulled on me by a Gendarme for objecting about my girl friend being pushed by some French guys on the underground walk way under La Défense...and then coming home and'signing on' at the labour exchange!! for the 1st and last time and using the money to get back into Paris on the infamous night ferry from Dover.

Dah dah dah de dah, dah de dah de dah, and we 'ad real butter for tea. What Adrian forgot to say was Harriet Quimby (google it) flew the plane and Amy Johnson was air stewardess. His girl friend was Florence Nightingale. And Facebook which this chat room is turning into was just a twinkle in Prideaux eye.


ps OP, great car by the way if the chassis is good

Come on Steve cheer up...SO, I spent a boring 13 months in Paris when I was a kid and popped back to visit friends a couple of time in my TVR's does not sound half as much fun...one of which was the OP's car.

It's obviously an old car of Adrian's, the rear vents have been filled in !!!

[thegamekeeper]

Used £40 of fuel this afternoon in my old bamger, even found the "wrong kind of leaves " at one point. Happiness is!!

Oh I saw it, but then I had to edit it....Today I put 3 new tyres on Joolz's 3000S (because Fulda were sloppy on delivery of 4 and sent 3 HR and one VR) made a new front lower bonnet moulding to modify into the only version of M Series bonnet I could not produce from a flash moulding of an original that I have here at the moment (I will now be able to supply that very early bonnet with the letter box opening on the first 40 or so cars) took my 7 year old boy swim training and signed pool side for an hour and a 1/4...had a fantastic home cooked lamb roast lunch thanks Joolz..laughed at yours and David's comments (I never did fill ALL of them in).
Back on track...I have to look for pictures of the SEAC racer for the current owner, I will of course search around for the pictures of the Taimar, from when I had it.

Anyone got advice on the best value hard copy picture to digital converter? I have 1000's of the things in my loft!!

Facebook enough for every one

For those whom have paid attention during history class in school;

If this is the cars second 'stint' in Paris, it would be the perfect example of the 'entente cordiale'

Come to think of it, an entente cordiale would do good on this forum as well !

(For those who didn't pay attention, entente cordiale means 'courtious relation')
