I can't believe how much better your car looks with the black and silver number plate, such a small detail but really is the finishing touch.
Car simply looks superb.

I love the little reference details on the new one. The three vents on the rear wing, the bigger vent behind the front wheel. Not slavish copies but nice tributes to your cars styling

Sorry for being so quiet as was away in France on Historic tour, saw commetns on phone but couldnt respond due to not remembering password, anyhow back now.
The tour was brilliant and if anyone wants to have some fun doing something different then I highly recommend it. Lots of nice people, great drives, great cars!
Sorry not to see you there Smash, but had a good chat with your mates.
Here are some pic's in date order....

Thanks Smash, They selected a number of cars and they were all amazing. The event was themed for German cars this year and 2 stunning porsches took some prizes with the grand prize going to a bright red ammerican pick up truck!
I have a little video and will post at some point.

ericholm – More great photos Andy.
Your car certainly doesn’t look out of place at an event like that.
Enjoy, Paul.

Andy - my brother (with the green TVR) was very impressed with how your car was turned out. He's told me I need to clean my interior!
Also told me it took 4 goes at painting it to get it right in the end?
Said it was getting a lot of interest people asking the make of kit etc.
Did you see my mate Inus's big old 1936 Bentley?

Hi Scot,
Yes had a good chat with your brother, please pass on my regards and with one of the blokes with a Cobra, who had a spinner come off but managed to retreive it! For the paint on my car we were trying to go with a chrome/silver finish and it didn't come out as expected, I am told it was a new paint type that needed a particular process, anyhow the final result is great and happy/delighted with it in the end. Yes there was lots of interest in the car, asking what kit it was, etc. I am a sales man by trade and think I did a good job telling people about it. However interest doesn't always immediately convert into orders... There were 2 large old massive cars a Merc and a Bentley that I saw and they lloked fantastic, hats off to those drivers who drove them so far, lets hope our cars will still be around in 80 years or so!
I hope your mates arrived back safely from the trip, as I said in a previous post, it was very worth while and fun!

Yeah I told him it was going to be chrome originally. He was telling him how filthy my interior is compared to yours which he said looked mint!
He also thoroughly enjoyed it (must've done he was on the phone for an hour and half last night!). I think it was the fact it was more participative than things like Le Mans - he also said it was really well organised for such a large amount of cars and appears to have picked up a random french woman who wanted to go for a lap of the circuit!

Classics on the Crick
Hi,
Went to Classics on the Crick today and managed to win first prize for the car, over some other very nice cars. The judges must have had good taste in my oppinion!

Thanks!
The judge said that it was difficult to see that it wasn't the real thing, I assume he meant from the outside at least.
Although these things are subjective, but good to get and hope tributes can get many more as would prove the brand is as good as the rest of them, if not better.
Cheers.
